Q: Should I sue my ex-fiance for money that he bullied out of the sale of the house we bought together?
I put my money into the house for downpayment, updates and labor that I believe helped us sell the house quickly and for a larger profit. I believe he took more than what he should of the profits. How can I get what I put into the house back from him?
A: Would be worth a consult with a local attorney, but unless he took more than 50% of the proceeds, it's unclear whether you'd have a claim. You also have to consider whether it would be worth it financially for you to go after him.
