Re: joint property ownership
PRESUMING YOU CAN VERIFY YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE CONDO, AND YOU ARE ON THE DEED, I SUGGEST YOU CONTACT A GOOD LOCAL ATTORNEY FAMILIAR WITH THESE MATTERS, AND CONSIDER A SUIT FOR PARTITION. THIS COMPELS EITHER YOU BE BOUGHT OUT OR THE PROPERTY BE SOLD. YOU SEEM TO HAVE RIGHTS THAT NEED TO BE PROTECTED AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY.
