Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 5 years . I have lived in his home off and on. I moved back in 9 months ago and we have broken up.. All my stuff is here and I have done all kinds of work to his place. What rights do I have to stay until I can find another place.

Very likely none at all (assuming you're not on the deed to this property).

You could, nevertheless, simply refuse to leave and force this boyfriend to

file a warrant for unlawful detainer action against you in the local general

district court and attempt to evict you as any landlord would have to

do with a regular tenant who refuses to vacate after the lease is up and whom the landlord wishes to remove from the premises.
