We both pt 6gs down each as a downpayment. She stayed at the house with our daughter. I want my money back from her and my name off of the house. Its been 18 months since I moved out. What should I do?? Do I have any legal rights?

In the absence of any pre-break up contractual agreement to split property in this situation, you are equal co-owners of the property and have an equal investment in same. At this time, you remain fully financially responsible for the mortgage payments, as does your ex-partner. Unless you can get her to agree to buy you out and refinance on her own, giving you back your investment at the time of the sale, you are pretty much simply a silent investor in the property.
See an attorney to determine whether you can force a buyout.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a good answer.

Your criminal appropriate is to purchase her out and characteristic her quitclaim you off the deed. you ought to have the fairness interior the domicile if she has a similar opinion to it, yet you will no longer unavoidably see your downpayment given lower back to you. you will additionally might desire to refinance the non-public loan, meaning you will might desire to attempt and qualify on your very own. because you weren't married to her, it does not be a 50-50 chop up. consult with a actual property attorney for advice. Have labored with the aid of lots of those circumstances in Escrow.

the legal action to take is les pendens= legal action pending.
its a suit you have to file for to obtain a cash demand from her and you have to win the case to.
you can also file in small claims for 5k of your money.
also check your wording on the joint tenancy on the deed, you may be able to sell your side of the deed to a shark and she has to deal with them, not you any longer.
sell the property like in a divorce and get your share that way if theres anything left after brokers fees etc.
