Q: Can my ex-husband evict me in Nevada despite owning 50% of house in divorce decree?
I am concerned about being evicted by my ex-husband within the next three days, even though our divorce decree states that I own 50% of the house. We agreed to sell the house, but the real estate agent informed me via text that the locks will be changed soon, claiming that I am not on the deed. I have lived in the house for four years and possess a document signed by my ex-husband saying I am entitled to 50% of the selling profits. I have not received any formal eviction notice. Can my ex-husband legally evict me under these circumstances?

A: Having a divorce decree that says you get half of the sale proceeds does not vest title in your name. Talk to your attorney. However it does sound like the sale may take place soon, but you need to insure you will get your half of the sales price.
