I took out a $15,000 loan for renovations of a home that my then boyfriend and I had purchased.. The money was used to renovate the upstairs of the home. I save the deposit, reciepts of the work done. The house was in his name only. He evicted me and my 2 children, and now I am out $11,000.
Why was the home only listed in his name? How much did you contribute toward purchase of the home? Depending on the circumstances you may be able to argue that there was a "constructive trust" and thus the court should determine that you are 50% owner of the property. More information is needed before an attorney can determine whether that is the way to proceed.
