Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia
Question
I had a boyfriend for five years. Him and I accumulated a lot of credit card bills but nothing in his name. He refuses to pay anything now is there anything that I can do legally even if his name isn't on anything. He spent probably about half on all the credit cards.

Re: Question
You could simply sue him for up to $5000 in Virginia small claims court for half the debt and "let the cards fall where they may", legally speaking. The filing fee would be around $40.
Re: Question
Was the expenditure he made for your benefit at all? How did he make expenditures on credit cards that were in your name only? It sounds like you made loans to him; he will argue gift. Without a written understanding between the two of you, your case will be difficult to prove.
