Q: How do I force the sale of my house? It’s court ordered to be sold, but ex husband will not respond to the realtor.
My ex husband is still living in our home and the house is supposed to be on the market to be sold. He will not communicate with me or the realtor who the court chose to sell the home. How can I move this process along and get my house on the market?
A: File a Motion for Contempt or Enforce the Sale of the Marital Residence. Don't forget to notice it for a hearing. Good luck!
A:
You must immediately file a Motion to Enforce the court's order on the sale. You can request that the court give you sole authority to execute all documents in order to carry out the sale. This will allow you to be the sole point of contact for the realtor, the title company, and the buyers.
Good luck!
