Q: My girlfriend and I have lived together for 3 years and we are breaking up.
I want to know who gets the house? I paid the down payment and every mortgage payment since we bought the house. I put her on the deed in case anything happened to me. So now that we are splitting up does she own any equity in the house that I have paid for?
A: She is apparently a titled owner of some type. If there is not sufficient equity, a Sale for Partition Action will not work. So you might want to offer her a few thousand for her Quit Claim Deed to you now. Have KY lawyer draft the proposed QCD.
