<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some 20 years ago, I did my only other partition action. The files are gone. If I recall correctly, there was case law which guided distribution as between two tenant in common. If I recall, if one party was claiming proceeds from the sale
were not to be divided 50/50, then the moving party could show that the division should be based upon their respective contributions. So we added the earnest money to person who tendered that, then allocated mortgage payments (both parties occupied the residence
so ouster was not an issue.) as well as money spent to improve the property. At any rate, based upon that method, one parties was deemed to own 65% and the other 35% (if I remember correctly.), but the important issue being how to determine percentage rights
to the proceeds from he sale?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone provide some guidance and updated case history on diving up sales proceeds? Thank you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
