Car Payment

My ex boyfriend helped me purchase

a car by giving me money for the

down payment and paying the car

payment every month because we

have a child. We had no contract or

verbal agreement in place as far as

repayment and the vehicle is in my

name. He is now saying that he

wants the money that he put into

the car back. Do I have to pay him if

we had no contract? Also I was told

that he can possibly be made to

continue to make car payments since

he verbally stated he would make

them as long as I pay my insurance.

Is this true? The car is too expensive

for me to keep on my own

Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice.

If you had an agreement with your ex-boyfriend, it has the same effect whether you put it in writing or it was just verbal. However, should you decide to sue for breach of contract, a written agreement may be easier to prove than a verbal agreement. You should immediately consult your own attorney to protect your legal rights.
