We bought the house together & he told me he would have the title switched to have both of your names. He lied & didn't do it after the closing, as well, after I reminded him. He refused to claiming that he talked to an attorney, and changed his mind. He said the lawyer told him it was not in his best interest! We had saved more than $15,000.00 together to get our house built, buy new furniture, etc. What do I do? I want out, and I want my half of the profit from the present worth of the house. He's trying to get the whole, but we had a joint checking account the whole time, including more than a year prior to the purchase of the house. What should my next move be? I am a single mother, and let me tell you, I worked my hinie off for a year to put us in a much bigger house than the first one we bought together!

This is why God invented attorneys, so go get one.
First, remove half of any money you still have in joint accounts, NOT all of it.
Next, get a restraining order kicking him out of your residence.
Next, file a title claim against the property and a separate lawsuit against him for breach of contract, fraud, conversion, etc etc.
If what you are saying is true, it's a simple case to prove.

Advice - you should have gotten yourself put on the mortgage or forced the issue at the closing. Didn't you learn your lesson from the first house you'd purchased together?
Why should he put you on the mortgage? And it isn't in his best interest as he'd be losing.
You could probably take him to court for breach of promise. Hopefully you have some sort of records that you added money into the pot to purchase said house/etc. But with him only on the mortgage you're not in as secure place and he can kick you out any time he wants as it's legally all his.
Get a lawyer.

Can you prove how much of the money you saved and cashed to put into the purchase of this house? Is your relationship over that you now want out? Or is it because of what happened over the purchase of this house? It sounds to me he used you to get this house, put it in is name and now there is nothing you can do about it. But if you have proof and can afford a good attorney I think you can do something about it but it is going to cost you some money.
Good Luck.

I`m sorry you ended up with the jerk you have.I would recommend that you get a lawyer on your own! Without him knowing about it as soon as possible! A lawyer will be able to inform you of your rights. He is nasty and as underhanded, and you are better off without him. I wish you the best! Your first hint should of been when YOU weren`t there to sign the papers as well, obviously, he never had an intent to put you on it.. Sounds like he just wanted your cash portion.

You've actually asked a business law question. Take him to Court and your relationship will be considered in the same manner as a business partnership. You will be given 1/2 the value of the house minus the outstanding mortgage.

Find a new place, then when he is out, move all your stuff to it. Right now, go clean out the bank account before he does. Don't forget to stop at the lawyers office and sue his butt.
