E-tickets: You can make changes to your e-ticket on united.com anytime prior to your original departure date. If you are unsure of the new travel dates, call to cancel the reservation by the first flight date to retain the value of your electronic ticket for 1 year from the purchase date. Additional restrictions apply for international travel e-tickets.
Yes, you can cancel the flights and the value for future travel is the price of the original ticket minus $150 change fee. The credit is in the name of the original traveller only. So only your ex can use the residual value for future travel within one year of orignial date of purchase.
