Unlike when you are married, whose name things are in matters but only if you are going to fight about them. If you can agree to things in a WRITTEN settlement then that fight is obviated. No marriage means anything help jointly is considered owned 50/50. Contributions to purchases could be deemed gifts or loans depending. Seek legal help. Good luck.
