Is she a vested owner on title to the house with him? Did she contribute any of her own funds to the purchase of the property? If she's not...she's not entitled to jack squat! They were not married and she wasn't making the mortgage payments so she's not entitled to anything. If she is on the title to the house with him...that's another story...but you didn't mention so I'm assuming she thinks she's entitled to it for no reason. The law is on your brother's side....tell him to hire an attorney and fight her. I know he probably feels bad that the relationship didn't work out...but that's no reason to get taken advantage of! He's better off without this fruitloop!!!!

The house is in both their names. She has not paid anything towards the house. My brother has paid the mortgage, down payment, fiancing, insurance, etc. All she has paid is the utilities for the 4-5 months she lived there. She has taken her name of the utilities now and has refused to pay any more.
He does have a lawyer, who is a friend of his. I think they will be responding to the letter with one stating everything my brother has paid for and how much she has paid. If she is the joint owner then she should have to pay for half the expenses.
Oh, she has also called the reception hall, photographer, and dejay and told them to refund the deposits back to her. My brother is the one who paid all the deposits!!!!!!
Edit: Actually he dad was the one that called the photographer. He told them to send the refund to HIM in his name!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!
