Q: My ex and I were never married but we have a house together. Who gets the house now that we have split?
We have been together 7 years and have two kids together. I have tried to be civil with him but he keeps acting like a child. If I move out he will lose the house, but if he moves out I would be fine. He refuses to leave and I don't want to keep living with him.
A: It would be good to talk to an attorney about your situation. A lot can do with the language in the deed and who is in it, but there are also different legal aspects involved since you were never married to look at to see who gets what and how much.
