can i legally sign my name off our house with the provision that x husband can never

What is the name of your state? pennsylvania
I have agreed to take my name off of the house, but I want a provision stating that in the event that my x husband moves his pregnant girlfriend and her children into the house,he must pay me half the cost of the house. Can I do this? I will ask for nothing if he just sells the house.

Oh, for God's sake: Either sign off on the house or don't, but don't try to put silly conditions on it.

You don't know the circumstances involved so don't be so ignorant. During our divorce we had other provisions, I can not go into details with out taking up too much space. You also don't know these people invoved and how they live. I do not want our children sleeping on the couch in the only home they have ever known. I will let him use the house as collateral for another home that will accomodate the large family, but in fairness to the children I have, Why is it such a hard decision? Should Our children have to be put out because he is too cheap to sell and get a bigger place? He makes 175,000 a year he can afford it. The only reason he argues is because he is used to me giving into every thing. This is the only thing I have asked for in this, I am asking for the emotional state of our girls. If he moves his girlfriend and her children in, plus the new baby, when our children are over for visitations every week, they will be sleeping on the couch, not in the rooms that they used to call thier own, it is cruel to subject them to that all I am asking is for them to have a new space that they can feel is part of their home too. Is that silly sir?????????????????????????????

Since you're calling him your "ex" it sounds like you are already divorced, and a property settlement should have been part of that process. Did you receive one-half the value of the house in the settlement? You either do or do not have an interest in the house, but it certainly can't be tied to who he moves in.

Doesn't sound like the girls sleeping on couches is the real problem since what you really want is money if he does move the gf in. The girls won't have a problem if you don't. You need to control yourself because you can no longer control him. Take whatever settlement you were awarded and move on with YOUR life.

BTW, Dorene is not a sir.

I can understand why you would feel bad for the kids, they might have a problem with sleeping on couches if those rooms used to be theirs. Are the skids the same gender and close to the same ages as yours? Maybe they can share rooms if they get along. This may be a way of helping them to cope with a new situation.

On the other hand, I would not take my name off the house. You have a right to half of it, and I would (if the CO stipulates) make sure I got half. If you're worried the kids won't have their own rooms, why don't you ask him to let you buy him out and keep them in their rooms? Just curious, not confrontational.

you know, i read this post once, then i just got to thinking that if you quick deeded the property over to him, i just wondered if the mortgage company could STILL come back on you if hubby decided not to make the monthly payments. i know that is how it is with cars and credit cards. they say that THEY (the credit card company) was not party to your divorce decree. so you can make up any arrangement you want to in your decree, but you are still responsible for the credit card payments because THEY did not agree that you would no longer be responsible. i don't know if that is how it is with mortgages or not. might want to check.

if it was me, i would just either make him SELL it or BUY you out. that way he will be forced to purchase a house that will fit his NEW family. (including your children) and if he buys you out, and keeps the house, Make sure that hubby knows what emotional effect this could cause the children if they are being kicked out of their bedroom just so the new children can sleep comfortably. if you and hubby are not on speaking terms, then have your attorney meet with the judge in private and explain your concerns and have the judge TELL hubby at the hearing that it could cause serious emotional damage to your children if they think that daddy loves the new children more than them. the best thing to do is just sell the house and let everyone start over. i wish you good luck and i appreciate your concerns for your children's emotional health.
