Living with someone post breakup

[SVTHORD]

So I just got back from AC and she tells me that she decided to leave as soon as classes were over (2 weeks) and we need to discuss tomorrow how we're splitting things up.

Given that I know she can't afford to pay me outright for whatever she takes in the split is some sort of payment plan my best option? From watching enough judge shows I would think a contract would be a must.

You're basically going to get owned on the deal since she's a woman and has no money. Just get used to the idea.

[NT!]

is stuff in your name? as far as i'm concerned don't give her a damned thing unless her name is on the bill too. and if she owes you rent but can't pay it, guess what? she can't take any stuff.

I'm not 'giving' her anything. Anything she wants to split it would be assumed she pays for.

if you renting out furniture/tvs, and her name isnt legally on the bill, dont give her any of those items, unless she pays you, in full for her half, before she leaves. anything she didnt pay for, do not give her.

tl;dr - all I know is, try breaking up with someone you've dated for 4 years, know that she's banging some other dude for two years who was a friend's friend, then watch on as she moves in 10 metres from you, technically in the same block of land.

F*ck, I'm an idiot. You don't compare. Suck it up, b*tch.

It would be a big mistake to let her take something on a "payment plan" rather than having her pay you in full before she leaves. That would mean that you have to maintain contact with her, which will inevitably get messy, and even if you do draw up some sort of contract, are you really going to want to pay for lawyers and go through all that hassle just to get the money she owes you??

Either insist she's paid her half of anything she wants to take before she leaves, or accept that you're giving your stuff to her for free. Moral: don't purchase household items in any sort of split...learned this one after fighting with 3 sorority girls about the value of our tv after depreciation...never again.

make her something on the lathe as a peace offering
