Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

What are my options?

I am living in a single family home with my now ex fiance. My name is on the mortgage loan and both our names are on the deed. Can I sell without his permission? Is he automatically entitled to any profit made upon selling the house? Can I remove his name from the deed? Can he be kicked out? Does he carry any financial responsibility by being on the deed?

You cannot sell without his signature on the deed unless you obtain Court permission to sell through a partition action. Your share of the proceeds will be determined by the Court. You need to consult with counsel, ASAP.
