Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: premarital property division

If you never got married to this person, there is no "spouse" and your former fiance[e] would have no claim to this property. Did you at any time transfer title to yourself and the former fiance[e]? S/he should still have no claim, unless s/he contributed financially to your purchase and/or to improvements and payments since you purchased the house. In that case, getting title restored to you alone will be a bit more difficult.

Please consult a real estate attorney near you if you need assistance in getting back title in your name only. I have been involved in situations like that, and resolution depends on the cooperation of both people. If they cannot or will not cooperate, a law suit may be needed, which will involve substantial legal costs.
