Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

I live in the state of Georgia & have lived with my boyfriend for 6 years. He has broken up with me saying its because of my job situation. Me and this guy have been through a lot. Over the years he has a record filing 3 eviction notices and never falling through with them. One restraining order about 5 years ago that got dropped. All this is when he would get mad at me and try to control the situation. I am now on the lease.

He is now traveling a nd will not answer my texts or calls. As of right now I do not have the money to move out and I feel he has just abandoned me. When he came into town last week for 2 days he stayed at one of his friends house. I saw him out twice and he left when he saw me at this one establisment .

He is a cocaine user and I found out he has been buying from a escort ( he travels to Arizona once a month to visit his kids) I have been on him about his cocaine use and this why I think he kas left me . If his ex wife who has kids in AZ. even knew about this is would be a very bad situation for him.

Do I have any legal rights at all? I feel he lied to me I spent 6 years with him. Can he do anything for me texting and calling him trying to find answers?

I feel he is up to something and I am reaching out to get this legal advice.

ThankYou

Rene

If you had wanted legal rights against him you would have married him. That is the procedure to obtain those rights. Since you chose to live with him on an illegal basis instead, you have no rights. STOP texting/calling him as YOU could be charged with harassment. He has done you a huge favor by leaving, since for six years you didn't realize it was smart to leave him. Good luck.

As far as your "rights," the answer is very, very easy -- Stop contacting him for any reason immediately. Hopefully friends and family will assist you in moving immediately, and hopefully you can work out a deal with the landlord for early termination of the lease, or some agreement to get you removed from the lease. That may be more difficult, but sometimes you do what you have to do. IF you need to contact him at all, such as to let him know what is going on with the lease or apartment, or to get his property back to him, then you get a reasonable, even-tempered friend or family member to communicate with him on your behalf, and that communication should be limited to these issues. You obviously know what he is like, so most people reading this post will wonder how you spent 6 years with him. If you are asking for advice on how to keep this bad relationship going, you probably won't find it here and I suspect friends and family might be the same. This might sound like harsh advice, but as I said, it is a really easy call (heavy drugs, escorts, restraining orders, etc). Move on with your life.
