Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey

Re: House Ownership

Let me understand this:

you and your former boyfriend (who now has a new girlfriend) are both the owners of a house that you bought and paid for, and for which you pay the mortgage.

And your question is whether you have any reason to be worried?

Yes you do. A lot of reasons.

You have a really serious problem, and it is going to take a lawyer's assistance to get your house back into your ownership.

It could have been worse. You could have married him.

I understand, and every lawyer who deals with these kind of situations understands; you really thought that this was the best thing for you and for him. It happens.

But now you need to fix this before it becomes a worse mess. I am sorry to tell you that it can get much, much worse (think of taxes he owes or lawsuits against him causing problems to you! or even him taking a mortgage out against your house and him pocketing the money!)

Please call my office if I can assist you. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.

Re: House Ownership

You should call me to discuss your matter; you should have consulted with an attorney before you added his named to the deed.
