My ex boyfriend was in terrible financial shape (unknown to me) when he asked me to come back. I did and we got engaged. Then I found out his finances. I borrowed $60k from my aunt to pay off his house and all his bills. We had a new deed recorded with both our names (no liens) and signed an agreement to repay my aunt, secured by the house. Shortly after the deal was done, we decided to buy a new house next door and rent this one out. He couldn't qualify for the loan and thought I should buy it alone, then we would get married. He broke up with me a right after I closed on the new house and stayed in the house we owned togehter. I found out from a friend of his that money, not feelings, was the reason he asked me back in the first place. I still have personal property that I can't get from the house he is living in that we own together. He will not respond to any form of contact and when I confront him in person he is very threatening and insists there is nothing I can do. He has had multiple roommates since I've been gone but has not paid a penny towards the house. I, of course, have made the payments to my aunt. It has been almost 2 years since we broke up. I can't afford to pay for both houses any longer. Two questions come from this. One, do I have any action against him for him planning to take advantage of my feelings and trust for financial gain ( a lot more than the $60k)? Two, how can I force him to sign the deed over to me? The house value is about $50k so selling to pay off won't be an option and there is no equity to fight over. He is unemployed, other than odd jobs, and unable to get a loan. I want him to move out and sign over the deed so I can repair the house (needs roof and cosmetic repairs) and rent it out until the value increases enough to break even on the loan.
