I co own a house in Florida with my ex girlfriend she wants to keep the house and I want to sell it what can I do?
I paid cash for the house with the understanding she was going to pay me back half and never did but I put her name on the title along with mine
You can persuade her to sell - and split the proceeds; or, she can perhaps pay you the value of your interest (I,e, "buy you out"); or, you can sue her for "partition" and have the court order the property sold, and split the proceeds (a last resort). If she promised to pay you, and you can prove it, you ,right be able to sue her to void the deed. All of these options require you to retiain a good local litigator as a first step.

Responses provided herein are merely commentary on the question posed. They are NOT intended as legal advice, nor to be relied upon by anyone, for any reason, nor to create an attorney-client relationship between you and I; and all askers should consult an attorney for advice regarding each individual matter, since each case is a bit different, and not all information is typically recited in the online question as posted. If the query involves a state other than Florida, any answer necessarily defers to answers or advice provided by lawyers from THAT jurisdiction - ALWAYS check with a good LOCAL real estate lawyer before taking any action. PLEASE do not contact me directly; I am NOT accepting new clients at this time, and only volunteer here on AVVO to "give back" after a long and rewarding career. Good luck!
