Q: My ex was supposed to take over the house (mortgage, deed -both solely in my name) effective with the divorce
Effective when the divorce was finalized/on record, she was to takeover the payments , deed, etc as she remained in the house
She did not make payments. Left the house for a year. Came back and lived there again for a year without making payments and as the 24 month time frame in which she was to buy the house, get a new note, refinance, etc was up -and me thinking that she was going to have all of this resolved/under control -she went and got a new house and left this one ro foreclose/sold at bank auction.
Am I able to sue/recoup for losses and breach of agreement?
A: It is a divorce question, not a real estate question. Your decree governs and remedies are in that case.
