She was to have been paying half for everything but to date has not. She does have income but works under the table she moved into a home and put things into storage. By law what can i do to get the money she needs to pay

Re: Broken lease

You should probably take her to small claims court, though your case is not a slam-dunk winner. You need to be able to establish some sort of agreement between the two of you as to how this would be handled. Good luck.
