My BF had me quit my job to take care of me and pay my bills. He even added me on his USAA account, insurance, health insurance, signer on a credit card, etc. I found out some horrifying facts about him and also that he cheats and beve very biolent once I moved in with him so I am leaving him. He got even more violent because he wants to control me so I had to have a RO served on him. He decided weeks ago to just stop paying my bills and now I will lose my good credit and everything else. Don't I have a right to sue him to continue paying them until I can get another job and pay them myself again? He wanted to pay them. It's why he had me quit my job. (Well also, unbeknownst to me, to control me.) He also said everything HE bought while we lived together is HIS. Nothing is mine.
Please advise. I am desperate and have to be out of this house in two days when he can return. (Judge granted 7 days to pack up and get out safely.)

Is this a legal domestic partnership? i.e. Marriage?

If you're not married you really have very little rights. Anything you bought with your money, is yours. Anything he paid for is his, unless you can prove that it was a gift.

No, he doesn't have to continue paying your bills until you get another job. He's your boyfriend, not your husband.

Sadly this is what happens when you play house without the benefit of marriage.

Call friends and ask them if you can spend a few days with them, you also should have been looking for a new job weeks ago, and from listening to what you said... you should have been doing it even longer. Have you even started yet?

Also J_9 asks a vaild question... if you AREN'T in one... then you really aren't entitled to a continued free ride.

No. He just wanted me to quit working to take care of me and said he'd pay my bills.

Depending on how long this "domestic partnership " lasted, most likely you aren't entitled to anything. While he wanted you to quit your job to "take care" of you, ultimately that was your decision. You aren't special because this is a male/male relationship. This happens every day in male/female relationships. Time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and start taking care of yourself.

For future reference, never rely on anyone but yourself.

Not really entitled to anything. If this relationship was filed (many same sex partnerships are filed) as a domestic partner,

But in general unless married, nothing, even if married, you would have to go to court and it could take months to get to court.
Time to find a job. Move in with other friends and move on.

Here you are, 2 days from being forcibly thrown out on the street, and you are asking about lawsuits? You had no contract, whether marriage or business. Time to face reality.

AFTER you are gone, whether to friends, family, or a shelter, you can investigate palimony. But you didn't even say where you live or how long you were together.

[Where is it said that this is a male/male relationship?]

My advice is to pack up, and leave safely, as the judge ordered, as its doubtful as to whether you have any cause to get an extension of that time. You can request it though.

The rest is a long way off from the reality of NOW.

And, since OP referred to her "BF", a female-female relationship is excluded as well.

A better question is this: was some sort of a "domestic partnership" declared? And OP has already answered that question, in the negative.

Confused. Read the posts several times. Where does it say that this is a male/male relationship? Not that it matters, laws are the same, but it's driving me nuts that I can't see where it says that the OP is also male. Was a post deleted?
