Re: real estate law
Yes you do have some right to the equity in the home. Unfortunately, however, if your former girlfriend is unwilling to sell the house and split the proceeds with you, you are going to have to file a lawsuit to enforce your rights.
You should IMMEDIATELY get an appointment with an attorney who practices in the area of real property, and perhaps a family law attorney because of the period of time you and your ex were involved.
