Unless you two had an agreement stating that you would repay your ex-girlfriend for any money she paid toward your debt, the court is likely to view your ex-girlfriend’s contribution as a gift. For example, if you two created a written agreement or if you orally agreed to repay her any money she paid toward your debts, then you may need to reimburse her for any money she contributed. However, an oral contract can be difficult to prove in court, and your ex-girlfriend would likely need to present evidence of the contract, including asking witnesses to testify on her behalf. I recommend that you discuss your case with an Iowa attorney who will be able to give you a more concrete answer after considering the additional facts of your case.
