Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Break up
I have lived with my boyfriend for 7 years and we built a house together 3 years ago. We have a child together. We have both paid equal amounts of the bills but the house is in his name. We are breaking up and I was wondering if I have to move out because the house is in his name

Re: Break up
Whose name is the mortgage in? In any case, you have little protection when you're not married. If you had a written contract, that could have been enforced. Without it, you're both left to your own devices.

Break up
Unless you get a court order to the contrary, the boyfriend can begin proceedings to evict you.
