Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Hello,

My fianc� and I might be breaking up. We live in NJ so there is no common law marriage. We have been together since 2007 and engaged since 2009. We purchased a house 3 years ago with both our names on the deed and mortgage. We both put down equal amounts for the purchase. I have been paying 100% of the mortgage and taxes since day one. I also am paying 100% of my fianc�s car insurance and extended warranty, the car has no loan against it. Our incomes are within $7000.00 of one another. My questions are as follows:

1. Am I entitled to more of the profits of the house since I have been paying 100% of the mortgage and taxes?

2. When we spilt, and if we both reside in the house would it be in my right to have her pay � of the mortgage directly to the bank?

3. When we spilt, can I take her and her car off my auto insurance policy?

4. We currently have a ride on our homeowners for jewelry, 100% of the items on the rider are hers, is she responsible for 100% of the premiums for the rider and 50% for the home owners insurance?

5. In the State of NJ, for State income tax, some items that revolve around the house and property taxes, are required to be split 50/50, should I be entitled to getting some of that benefit she received back?

Thank you.

I presume there was no agreement when you bought the house. If my presumption is correct then either a court will have to decide this case or you have to negotiate. I suggest you call my office and set up an appointment.
