VerifiedGood morning. My name is ***** ***** I am an expert on this site and I am sorry to hear about what he did and what you were going through. I am happy to help and just need some additional information. Just to be clear, the home was purchased during the marriage? If you were never married you just bought this with your partner and they are on the title with you?
If the agreement was that you pay half, you can try and argue that you will take back his share from the equity that you paid on his behalf, to be made whole and then share the rest. If he refuses to sign at closing and sell, it is going to take a court order and lawsuit to force him, I am sorry to say.
