How Much Money Can I Get From My Ex

[Amanda2003]

My question involves a relationship in the state of: Texas
I don't know why it says how much money can I get from my ex...... Makes me feel bad, that is not exactly how I feel it should be said...
Hello, I loaned my, at the time boyfriend, fiance fifteen hundred dollars for him to retain an attorney. Also, he moved to another city about two hours away from me and then proposed and also asked me to move in with him. I am a single parent and it has been rough finding a job that can work with me. I have absolutely no family support and I have seperated myself from previous friends because of lifestyle changes. I have lost several jobs because of missing work to take care my sweet little one. I finally found a job and then a couple months later he asks me to marry him and move in. He promised he would support me and he would take care us my child and me. Oh, and yes, the car... He also purchased (is paying on) a car for me, he said he wanted to give me something nice and dependable and he is now saying he purchased it for himself after telling my family and even the salesperson it was just for me... it is a powder blue toyota yaris.. I don't know if I can get the car because it is in his name, however, I did pay for six months of insurance. I am the primary driver of this vehicle and his notion to why I cannot take the car is because he has nothing else to drive (not his new motorcycle or his truck) and that it is too much of a liability... I drive this vehicle everyday. There has never been any word spoke of such discrepencies either. I do want the car, and I would love to have it if it were even possible. That's not my luck however. I am usually left without funds and I stay home aside from going to the gym. I do not know anyone here, and I knew it would be hard but I was also promised he would be supportive and good to me. I know I sound like I want someone to have pitty on me and that people break up often and they go through this, but can I not hold him to his word and get back the investment I made.. I mean he's a person not a stock.... Am I wrong? Can I take him to court and get back the money and perhaps something for everything he has put me through. I feel like he did this all on purpose to get what he could from me.

If you have proof of the loan, you can try to sue him for that.

The other stuff? Very generous gifts you gave him.

You won't get the car (it's not yours), and you won't get anything else back.

For what it's worth, the title is pretty apt actually.

Everything I have given him has been in check form and he has said he would pay me back. I wouldn't think I would get the car, just would like to have it. Thank you for your reply.
Also, sure the title is about right however, worded a bit tacky. Either way, thanks.
