My partner and I ,who were never married, recently split up. We have a home together and are listed on the deed as joint tenancy. He somehow closed all our old utility accounts that were in my name and put them all in his--I have since moved out. He then has decided that I should be responsible for all these bills ($1150 worth) out of spite. My question is: if we are listed as joint tenants on the deed, which I believe in my state means everything is 50/50, and I can prove he was living at the house during these bill periods, can I take him to small claims to get him to pay his share?? Please help! I'm in no position to pay all these myself!!
