Re: Fiance

Try to negotiate with her using a third party, not considered threatening.

If negotiation fails, file a simple complaint in Civil Court for payment of the loan.

However, you will require proof that the money provided was not a gift; and that you fully contributed to one half of the monthly payments for household costs and expenses while you were living in the house after purchase.

GOOD LUCK,
