Virginia | Civil Litigation
In 2006 my mother-in-law at the time promised to buy a house for my husband at the time and I, so I could move back to my hometown so my son (her grandson) could graduate with his friends. I explained I would have to quit my job and did not want to do this unless she was positive she was going to do this. She said she was. 3 months later, after I gave notice to the apartment and my job I was leaving, she called me to tell me she decided not to do this. I had to move back home to a rental with my husband and within 30 days he kicked me out. I have never earned the salary I was making since then and have not been able to afford to rent a place of my own. I live with my mother now. Two years after we divorced she purchased a 150000 house for her son, that he lives in and she has it in her name. Can I sue her for damages?
