Michigan Ownership of a property
I have a friend that has been in a relationship for over 12 years in hopes of getting married , in an act of good faith her boyfriend refinanced and had his girlfriend’s name was put on the deed and the mortgage to buy more time, delay the commitment of marriage .. In a recent argument that ensued he informed her that they are not married and if she leaves she gets nothing . She is also preparing to file bankruptcy chapter 13 and is aware that the house cannot be sold for 3 to 5 years . Due to irreconcilable differences this has become a very volatile environment and she is thinking of leaving the home , if she does is this considered abandonment and does this constitute forfeiture of any rights or profits from a home sale?
Thanks!
