[WSBARP] Partition Action v. Committed Intimate Relationship proceeding

[Andrew Hay]

Well its either one or the other and CIR has priority.  If there is a CIR, then the CIR rules apply to all CIR property.  If not, then partition is the fall back.  The result is the same.  Ultimately one of them buys the other out or it is sold and split.

Listmates:

This is a new one for me.  BF and GF bought a house together and financed it with a bank loan.  GF leaves and wants BF to buy her out.  Negotiations over an amount go nowhere.  GF threatens a partition action.  BF says he will start a CIR action which trumps a partition action.  Is this true?
