Hello,
I am concerned about moving onto my father's acreage. In 1992 I turned 18 and receive a $8000 settlement from when I was 8 years old. From 1992-1996 I worked F/T and earned $1200-1600 per month. I gave him ALL my money. My father perchased 2.25 acres in 1992 and told me it would be mine and my future children's. In 1996 I was married and 3 months pregnant and moved out of my father's home. He demanded I still pay for the 2.25 acres at $100 per month (Half of payment). He only paid ($18000 total price) from 1992-1998. Now, I have a Doublewide, married 11 years and have 4 kids. We want to move to the property. However he implies I walked out of the payments and insuch lost ownership. He was a drunker,drug user and wife beater and I do not resent moving out. I have calculated with SS earning statements and the $8000 settelment. I gave him about $30000 between 1992-1996. I feel I more than paid for the whole 2.25 acres ($18000). However, he is the only one on the deed. If I move onto the property. Could he evict me for any reason. We (myself/husband) will not make payment guarantees etc. no contract etc. What could he legaly do?
Seperatly, can I still seek a court order to have 50% or even 100% ownership of the property. He made the last payment in 1998 and deed transfer in Feb 1999. Can I get on the deed and what would I need to prove etc?
Many thanks,
Crystal
