What is the name of your state? Ohio
I have a home in Ohio, Licking county, that I jointly own with my ex-fiance. I left him 3+ years ago, been paying 1K month and had the house listed with several realtors over the past years. Four months ago he called wanting me to sign the house over to him. When I refused and insisted on selling it he stopped paying his share of the house payment. The house now is in foreclosure and he calls me repeatedly laughing saying "Welcome to foreclusure____! When the house is sold they are coming after you and not me as you make all of the money and my income is unreported". I have an entire tape full of one cruel message after another laughing that I am ruined. My credit is important to me, I have rental properties and a home of my own. My realtor advised me that my ex was refusing to show our home and they did not want to represent us anymore. On Aug 17th I listed our house on several websites with a much lower price and got immediate responce. My ex has changed the locks on me several times. I have showed up with potential buyers and we were able to get in! With the threat of foreclosure, my ex finally moved out a month ago. He then rented our vacant house to a "squatter" who sleeps on a mattress left in our master bedroom and roast hotdogs via open fire in my front yard as there is no microwave or stove! I called the police twice and each time they tell me this squatter has tenants rights, even though there is no lease and I am not seeing a dime of the "rent" money! I have several families who have showed up to look at our home only to have the locks changed or the master bedroom locked or worse yet squatter in the house! I have spent my last dime trying to play nice, having the front porch painted, basement block painted, put in new driveway and had the yard bush hogged as my ex and squatter now refuse yardwork! Please help me! My ex is laughing about this and actually told one buyer that made an offer "Our house was not for sale that we are wanting a foreclosure!" We even had a refund two party check come from Licking county and he refused to cash it saying he would rather shred the $755 check than to give me a dime of my money!" I had one Attorney mention "torts" and another tell me I have to follow some 1800 law and am in need of 3 appraisals, title search and court cost and then I can have him removed from the deed. Each Attorney disagreed with the other and I do not know which I should go with, please help me! I am ready to fight and no longer be nice! Again, I am in Ohio. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
