Hi All,
Glad I stumbled across this site as I need advice as to how to go about calculating back rent from my ex. Both names are on the lease and at the start it was easier for me to pay landlord through Chase Online. We had a verbal (that she seems to claim didnt happen) she would cover the other bills (utilities/garbage/groceries). At the time i had a much higher paying job and she also cooked and cleaned all the time. So to me those were forms of "payment" to me and I was fine with that. Years went by and she stopped doing chores or cooking, on top always needing me to help her with some bill because she is in big debt.
Fast Forward to now, we are moving out because im trying for disabilities and she keeps telling me how she cant pay more then the general bills (im paying for food now and internet/cable).. Yet shes always spending money on either dinning out or in, clothes and other stuff. So its enough for me to be done.
How do i calculate how much she owes me over the years we have lived here and she covered a fluctuating price tag based on heating/electric, flat rate and make her figure it out as a rebuttle? There's lots of texts and money sent back and forth to go with my story(ies).
The main reason I stuck around for so long is the dog we got together at a rescue. I was extremely sick with the flu (shouldnt have even went) and had her sign the documents. Years have gone on and im the one constantly paying for medical bills/food/toys and also the primary care taker of the dog. Walking him every day 2-3 times, also being the one to feed and give water. I have a handful of people that can claim they see me almost every morning, while others can say the same about the evenings. Im only concerned for his well being as half the time there is times where she will be asleep by 6/7pm and wont even take him out for the evening, which lies on me.
If i have some substance then that is great, just more concerned for the dog at this point.
