My son and I own a home in which he resides. I made the down payment, and paid all legal costs. For the past ten years I have paid the house insurance, and have also paid for a car which he verballypromised to make the payments and did not. Recently there was a fire, and the house is in the process of complete renewal, and my son says that he is going to sell the home so that he can realize approximately 70,000 dollars profit on the sale. Can I put a lien against the house to recover my expenditures, and after these expenditures, is half of any remaining profit mine since both names are on the deed?

You can SUE him, but you can't put a lien on the house. Yes, you'll split the proceeds. Don't worry. The check will be made out to BOTH of you, so he can't steal it.
