Ex-boyfriend requesting his name off the car lease.
So last yr I moved out of mine and my ex-boyfriend's apt. He agreed to pay rent for the apt and I agreed to pay for the car lease that has both of our names on it. The agreement was not in writing but my Aunt was the financial mediator between the two of us; because I actually have a restraining order on him. He's talked to my aunt about me getting the car lease in just my name only. Back then I actually did try and got info, it turns out that the cost of getting out of the car lease is way over my budget. After he was told that I was unable to get his name off the car lease he went to my work to try and take it so he could turn it in, he ended up getting arrested for violating the restraining order. Now he is sending me to small claims court for my half of the apt rent and also to get his name off the car lease. I already have legal documents saying that my name was taken off the apt lease early, but I am worried about the car situation. He signed a legal agreement that he would be my co-signer until the car lease is up. I still have 2yrs left on the car lease and the least expensive way to get rid of the car is to wait out the car lease for the remaining two yrs. He is not willing to pay anything and just wants me to deal with all of the penalties. Would the judge be in favor of him at all? How can I win my case?
