More details to this question:
When I was living with my boyfriend I started an online business and it was under my name, but then we decided to put the business under his name. For the past 4 years I've work side by side six days a week and were able to grow the business and make more profit. We recently separated and about three years ago he signed a paper that states he would pay me off $45k+ if we split off and also told me verbally that he would pay me off. Now that we are separated he doesn't want to pay me what he promised. Is there anything I can do? I am not even asking for a third of the amount made in profit.

You can ask for anything, but your ability to compel him to pay you probably anything depends on whether the "paper" he signed is a valid contract or not, ehich depends on too many factors to cover here. You should probably consult an Oregon attorney..
