Do I have to pay the mortgage if we split up?
You are both jointly and separately responsible for the full amount of the loan. If the loan is not paid, the bank may take possession and sell the home to pay it. Most commonly, if you remain living in the home, you should pay the mortgage and expenses for the home, pending sale.
What rights do I have after split up with my partner?
If a cohabiting couple splits up, they do not have the same legal rights to property as a married couple. In general, unmarried couples can’t claim ownership of each other’s property in the event of a breakup. These trusts can be formed between cohabiting partners, and are a complex area of the law.
Can my girlfriend take half my house?
Yes she can take half of everything after 6months IIRC as that is legally common law which basically = marriage. No. Unless you promised her something and she changed her position based off of your offer. And, even that depends upon your state.
