Responsibility for Mortgage and Taxes After Breaking Up

[Onemanband]

My question involves a relationship in the state of: ny

We broke up over a year ago. I called off wedding. Owned a condo together , i quit claimed off title last year because her parents gifted her down payment and they asked me to stay on mortgage so they didn't have to refi. However they stated on quit claim they would be responsible for on going mortgage payment. When we were together her parents were helping us with cost of mortgege, however I was paying more then half of costs. When it came time for taxes 2010, parents told me to file and write off all taxes since daughter didn't make money and couldnt take advantage of deductions. Now a year later father is coming at me saying that I owe him for past tax deductions and wants me to give him half of down payment and pay him for tax deductions. Also looking for me to pay for full cost of money he lost for wedding. Btw she kept the ring, which I never said she could keep. What am I legally on the hook for.

You were a fool. You should never buy a house with someone you are not married (it's easier even to get a divorce than out of a mortgage). Second, you should never have quit claimed the property without simultaneously getting off the mortgage. As far as the bank is concerned you are as responsible for the mortgage as she is. As for the rest of the nonsense, the faster is blowing smoke.

You're on the hook for the mortgage payments for as long as you are on the mortgage. The rest? No.

As for the ring, that's a conditional gift. Since the condition upon which the gift was given was never fulfilled (the marriage), New York state law requires that she give it back.
