In my case, we were living together, but we still had bought a house and car and had bank accounts etc.
My ex is a story unto itself, however, she was smart enough to know that if we went to war, only the lawyers would win.
We hashed out a deal ourselves (it took 4 months of bickering / negotiating / crying / trade-offs, etc) but we finally came up with a deal that we put into writing. We then hired a lawyer who drew up a contract, oversaw the transfer of assets, and we were out the door for about $1,100.00.
Your issue will be very complicated however by virtue of the child.
