More details to this question:
My boyfriend and I split up a year ago and he owes me over $20k. I do not have a contract with him but I do however have cashed checks and text messages where he was paying me and where he says he would pay me. Is it possible for me to take him to court and get my money back?

Because you have written acknowledgment of the debt, you may want to consider sending a demand for payment to your ex. This way he can arrange to make payments prior to you suing him for the amount owed. If he doesn't respond to a demand letter, you may purse your claim in county court for the amount owed where you will have to prove the debt and proof that he agreed to pay the money back.
