Re: live in girlfriend
Based on the limited information you provided, it sounds as though you obligated yourself on the Jeep (jointly with her), and as such, both of you are responsible for the payments. If that vehicle is titled jointly, then you are both entitled to use of the vehicle as well.
As far as your home goes, she would not be entitled to any equity in it, unless you put her name on the Deed. As long as you didn't do that, the home is still entirely yours.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
