Partitions of Homes Owned by Unmarried Parties
Purchasing a home together is a major investment, and many people enter into these arrangements with a romantic partner, friend, or family member without formal agreements in place. When the relationship changes or ends, disputes often arise over who keeps the home, how equity should be divided, and how financial contributions should be credited.
Our firm assists clients with co-ownership and partition disputes involving homes owned by unmarried parties. We help clients understand their rights, explore options, and pursue resolutions that are fair and legally sound. This includes:
- Initiating or defending partition actions to force the sale of jointly owned property
- Negotiating buyouts between co-owners
- Resolving disagreements about contributions to down payments, mortgage payments, and home improvements
- Unwinding informal or unwritten agreements about ownership or financial responsibilities
These cases can be emotionally complex and financially consequential. Our attorneys provide clear explanations, practical advice, and skilled representation—whether resolution is reached through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Complex Civil Litigation (Claims Over $20,000)
We also handle civil disputes involving significant financial stakes. When the amount in controversy exceeds $20,000, the outcome of a case can directly affect your long-term financial security. Our firm represents clients in a wide range of complex civil matters, including:
- Contract disputes
- Real estate and property-related conflicts
- Business or partnership disagreements
- Claims involving financial loss, damaged property, or unpaid debts
Our approach to complex litigation is thorough and strategic. We work closely with clients to evaluate the strengths of their case, identify potential risks, gather essential evidence, and pursue the most effective path toward resolution—whether through settlement or trial.
