In 1987 an unmarried couple with a baby on the way move in together. He purchases a home, and her name is put on the title of the home. She moves out and takes the child with her 4 years later. The couple never reconciled. She has not made any payments on the home. The value of the home has tripled+++ since she moved out.When the home is sold, is she entitled to 1/2 of the proceeds? She has not contributed 1 cent towards the purchase of the home and they never married....Any clues?This is in California...

If it is a community property state, she gets 1/2. They bought together... her name is on title. An attorney would be a better answerer and it depends on the state. Why the riddle? This is a SERIOUS matter.
