My question involves small claims court in the state of: Ohio
About two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I purchased a house together. One issue is that my name only is on the title. Since he has a lot of student loans and business payments we decided that was the best decision. His name is on the gas and garbage bills. Before moving into the house we both agreed to pay half of everything. And both of our families knew of that agreement. Five days after we moved in, he moved out. Since he agreed to pay half, do I even have a leg to stand in legally speaking? I am 22 years old and I can not afford this place on my own. I know roommates are an option but I believe that he should have to take some responsibility. And selling the house at this point would cost a lot of money.
