I have a fried who's been with his girlfriend for about 7 years and 3 years ago they bought a home together. The relationship is very volatile and the cops have gotten involved because of the yelling and screaming (no, there's no abuse only verbal on both parts). My friend, who's the male in the relationship, wants to move out but when he tries to talk to her about it, it's turn into a war with lots of name calling. She said she's keeping the house and not giving him a dime. He just wants his share and is the primary person on the loan. He's afraid if he were to move out he couldn't afford a rent payment and maintain his half of the mortgage. If he were to move and not pay his half, would that be considered abandonment of his house? I suggested he put something in writing and give her a deadline of when he is to move out. Then it's up to her to maintain the mortgage on her own. Anyone have any advice or suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

I think that given the situation, your friend needs to seek legal advice. He may or may not be able to do this at no cost. Consultations are usually free..... call around, get some professional advice.


Good luck!

He definitely needs a consultation with an attorney.
