I'm going to present this concept to an attorney. Thank you!!

Thank you.

Thank you. I spoke to a women's shelter in my area, but unfortunately, they don't take pets. i probably have $100 in my checking account. That's it. I'm trying to keep my cell phone on for emergencies. The car thing might not be a bad idea, but I think its too cold where I live right now to bring my fur babies. Then…

Agreed. It's like a ticking time bomb. Thank you for the sound advice. I'm going to look into some legal resources tomorrow.

Bless your soul. Unfortunately, I am in the North East (NJ). Thank you for your kindness.

I agree. At the same time, I don't know how much longer I can live in this hell. I'm going to look for an attorney tomorrow. Hopefully, someone will offer a free consult.

Thank you.

Thank you!!

Bless you!

Thank you, thank you and thank you. Happy New Year to you =)

Thank you a million times over for this. I need a support system which I unfortunately don't have. So thank you!

Thank you.

It would be 1/2 of my down payment so about 25k. Its a lot of money. I'm afraid if I start any lawyer communication while still living with him he will become abusive. It's like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. I guess it cant hurt to at least speak with an attorney in the meantime.

Thank you.

Yes, I do. I have an agreement that we signed at the closing that states I would get my down payment back upon sale of the property. I contacted the lawyer that wrote the agreement and he said the value of my contributions and distribution of proceeds would need to be discussed with the boyfriend. If the BF won't…

I'm in a abusive relationship and unfortunately I'm financially dependent on this asshole. Thankfully, were not married but we do own a house together. I need the down payment that I put on the house which is close to 50k. I haven't been able to find work in the last year so I need this money to leave him and start my…
