We live in the same home and share expenses. We maintain separate and a joint bank account. For over a year I paid all the household expenses, as well as some of his personal debts. I mostly have receipts and we kept a book detailing with dates the amounts I paid and am owed. This amount is somewhere around 10k. My question is that now we are going our separate ways he doesn't want to pay up. Do I have any legal recourse? A question regarding opposite sex domestic partners: I have been with mine nine years.
