Q: If I’m divorced and living in the home with my ex that we bought together ( both names on mortgage), what are my rights
If I’m ready to sell the home and he’s dragging his feet and not being willing?
A: This depends on what your divorce decree says about selling the house. If by chance you purchased the house after the divorce, you will have to come to an agreement or file a partition lawsuit to force a court-ordered sale. You should retain an attorney to review your situation and advise you how best to proceed.

A: Your rights depend on what the divorce papers say. If you need help assessing the divorce papers, mapped up with your specific facts, you should consult with a family law attorney.
