Q: If an ex wife is selling a home that is only in the husbands name can he stop the sale and keep the house?
The ex wife is wanting to sell the house which was bought during the marriage yet only in the husband’s name not hers. In the divorce decree the ex wife was ordered to keep payments up but not to refinance out of her ex husbands name. She wants to sell but the husband wants his house back instead of someone else having it.
A: You are going to need an attorney to review your decree and then they will be able to explain your options.
A: Either the decree was not explained properly to you , or it was poorly written. Like Pete said, you need to either an attorney look at this and clarify or fix this issue.
