Q: Divorced single mom. Ex refused to move from family home when divorce was filed. Settlement stated he was to sell the
Home. He has not made any attempt. He has let it go into foreclosure. I am on the deed but not the mortgage. Is there a way to get him out or buy the house out from under him and force him out? I have tried to go back to court over this and was told they are not there to make him write mortgage check out every month. What are my options? We had two houses at time of divorce. I gave him one. He let that foreclose too. He makes a great living with a great salary. This was done on spite.
A:
Thank you for your question.
If the other part is not following terms of the agreement a motion must be filed to enforce the terms. If you are suffering losses as a result of the non-payment of the mortgage, you may be entitled to financial relief depending on the terms you and the other party agreed to. Based on your circumstances, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.
I hope this information was helpful to you.
