Do I have the ability to sue my ex?
My ex and I own a home 50/50, both of our names are on the mortgage, note, title, etc. When we broke up, I moved out and our house is on the market, but I still pay my half of the mortgage. He is still living there until it is sold.
He recently moved a new girlfriend into the house without my consent. At first he claimed that she was just sleeping over, which I didn't really care about because she lived three states away and it make sense to sleep over when she visited. However, she just recently got a full time job in the area and all of her stuff is in the house. Still he claims she doesn't live there.
I did a lot of research on this and couldn't come up with anything conclusive. I guarentee her new job has my house listed as her residency because her paystub comes to the house. (I see it when I pick up my junk mail that still goes there)
Can I sue her for rent money? She's living for free in MY house I'm half paying for. And I know she gives him money to help.
Answers:
I do not know that you can sue, unless you have an agreement about no one moving in or they have to pay part of the payment. I would think that since you are half owner you would have some say so though. Contact an attorney and go from there. Touchy subject!!
i think you probably can
I could see why your husband dumped you.
I don't think you could actually sue her for the rent, being the house is not in her name yours and his only, however you could maybe sue him to get your name taken off the loan note, and for what you have paid since you've moved out.good luck..i would suggest speaking with a lawyer, that will be the only place to get the best answers
You can sue anybody for most anything. Doesn't mean you 'll win the case. You are an owner in the house, so you have rights, just as he does. You might consider just not paying. As long as they keep the note paid, you are building equity in the house. He can't sell it without your signature.
Speaking of adding insult to injury...I'd be more angry than you sound to be, and to top it off, she could sabotage the sale of the house too. For future reference, anybody can sue anybody...but, winning is crucial because, if you lose, you get stuck with court costs. Good luck...your ex sounds like a real winner (not). I can see why you left. Sleep- over my ...!
if i were you, i would get my name off the note and title and call it a loss.
you can not sue her. your ex has possession of the house, so he is the one who can make rental agreements with her.
they are enjoying it immensely. you are paying her share of the mortgage.
cut your losses now.
