Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Bought a home with previous partner as joint tenants in common. She stopped paying in 8/13 and I moved to an apartment due to her abuse. She still occupies the house but I want to catch the mortgage up before foreclosure and take back the property. How can I make her leave before it is too late and live in my home?

You either hold title as joint tenants or as tenants in common. You can't be both. I suggest you iron out that detail first. You cannot have a co-owner evicted from a house, and if you are a cosigned on the loan, you can make payments any time you want.

How??

With difficulty, time, and a lot of legal fees to be incurred in a lawsuit over ownership interests and financial accounting, if you can't reach a voluntary settlement between yourselves.

If serious about hiring counsel to help either negotiate a settlement or litigate this before it is too late, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever evidence and sympathies there may be. I�ve been doing these cases for many years.
