If you had a written agreement with your ex wife and/or ex mother-in-law concerning this real property, that would be the first thing to consider. If your marital dissolution case has been finalized, the decree should address your and your ex wife's property rights. Otherwise, the analysis is much more complicated. I suggest you retain an attorney and go over the facts in detail to find out what your options are.
