UrbanTurf Reader Asks: The Girlfriend Mortgage Contribution
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a homeowner who recently had his girlfriend move in inquires as to whether there is a protocol for the girlfriend helping with mortgage payments.
I am curious if UrbanTurf readers have any experience with the following scenario: My girlfriend recently moved into the condo that I bought about a year ago. Right now, we have a fairly creative payment plan worked out in which I pay the mortgage, condo fees, etc., and she buys most of the daily necessities. But I am curious if there are better solutions out there. Needless to say, this is delicate territory, but if anyone has experience with this situation, I would love to hear how payment (if any) was determined.
