Q: I purchased a home with my then girlfriend, about 4 years ago. We have since broken up, but still reside together.
Can she legally have her niece to come and live indefinitely without my say, if I am against it? We live in Arizona. I alone am on the loan, but we both are on the title.
A: Your girlfriend is an owner of the home and she has a right to have visitors of her choice. You have the same right. If this living arrangement is not working, you might consider selling the home or purchasing your ex's interest in this home.
