Q: How much of the mortgage I should credit my ex in a house that we co-own but I´m not living in anymore?
My ex-girlfriend and I bought a property in MA and signed a pre-purchase agreement on how to deal with selling the house in case we cannot come to any other agreement. However, this agreement didn't take into account for changing percentages as I made all of the payments initially and now she is making the mortgage payments. Similarly, I'm no longer living in the house and we've always had renters in the property, so I'm not sure how much of the mortgage I should be crediting her with.

A: If the agreement was made in MA then you need to consult an MA attorney to revise it.
