My fiance and I split up however we purchased a $685,000…

He cannot be forced to sign an agreement.

And when you go to sell the court will consider your respective contributions and he will not get half.

But what might be best is to try and buy him out now so there is no fight about sharing the increase in value of the house if there is one.

Does that make sense?

Finally, please know that even after you rate me I will be here for you and you can ask follow-up questions if you think of them later on at no further charge of course.

He can seek a court order and will get it. It will take a few months.

I would not give him anything back until he agrees to remove his name from the title. Then tell him he can have that money and the ring.

You cannot force him to remain an owner of a house he no longer wants or needs.

But you there is nothing you can do as he no longer wants to own the house. I wish there was a different answer.

It does matter and you can tell him if he takes you to court you will seek to hold him to the contract.
