OHIO, Next time you have a differing opinion than someone else, there are much more polite ways to begin than "WRONG. WRONG. WRONG."! Had I been way off base, offering totally useless information, then maybe you slam me. But in this case I was right and you were just nit-picking the wording of my statement. As a senior member, with almost 28k posts, I would think you had moved past the need to put people down. Not to mention your follow up statement is mostly incorrect!

Wrong. Prove that he promised to pay 50% of the mortgage. That needs to be in writing. Does she have that in writing? Statute of frauds. Are you familiar with that? He is not responsible for paying 50% of the mortgage unless the mortgage states that. Nor does she say they have a contract in which he promises to pay that. She is getting the full benefit of the house. She is therefore responsible for the full payment. She signed up for the full payment when she signed the mortgage. They are each responsible for 100% of the mortgage. If she wants to keep the house, then she should continue paying the mortgage.

OR she files a partition lawsuit if he will not consent to her buying him out. End of story.

You were off base. My follow up statement was correct.

OH REALLY? I didn't realize all contracts had to be in writing! Maybe you just don't understand the question! My advise is 100% on.

OH and by the way, "Statute of frauds" has nothing to do with the agreement between tho two ex's!

Try to understand the statute of frauds and quit being a sexist jerk. Where did you get your law degree?

It has to do with agreements concerning real estate. And contracts that last longer than a year.

Again, this is exactly right!

LOL

The answer is right there in your own words. He is not responsible unless the mortgage states that he is. Does the mortgage state that he's responsible? Yes, the OP said it at least twice.

And of course the person who pays the entire debt can make the other party who is jointly liable contribute. That's basic contract law. I thought you were a lawyer.

The SOF has nothing to do with it because his liability is not based on a contract that he has with the OP. His liability is based on being jointly liable for the mortgage.
