QUESTION
Can I sue my ex for breach of contract
Asked on Sep 05th, 2014 on Breach of Contract - Washington
More details to this question:
I co-signed on an auto loan with my ex. Our agreement was that I would co-sign to help him get the vehicle and he would make the payments since he is the one that is using it. The vehicle is about 20 days from being repossessed. If it does indeed get repossessed can I sue him for breach of contract?

It's not entirely clear, but your agreement appears to be one which could not have been fully performed within a year, meaning that it falls within the statute of frauds and is required to be in writing to be enforceable. Assuming that you can get around that, you can sue your ex for breach of contract if you suffer any damages from the breach, for example if you have to pay off the remainder of the loan, or if you have to pay a higher rate of interest on a loan you take out because your ex's breach ruined your credit rating.
