The answer to this question depends on a number of factors. Please keep in mind that I am not an attorney and that I am not authorized to give "legal advice". It's a good idea to consult your attorney on this topic as well as your faith leader such as a pastor if you are a person of faith.


The law treats a spouse differently than a boyfriend/girlfriend in marital rights even if a spouse isn't on a loan.

If I want to buy with someone I'm not married to, what should I do?

Should I involve my boyfriend/girlfriend in the purchase decision even if they won't be living with me while unmarried? Likely w/ caveats

Consider your relationship duration & other data, even if you're married, before purchasing together.
