Q: What happens if there's a Free trader agreement signed during the marriage and then later when buying an investment we
had both our names listed as owners with only me on the mortgage note so my spouse could refinance it . We never got that far . We still have it but are now divorced and she has always paid the mortgage and paid for all the renovations . Can I still sell it without her signing even though I know I never paid for anything ?
A: Given what you said, neither side can sell the property without the consent of the other. If you want to sell the property then you will have to talk to your ex or bring an action through the courts to force a sale.
