What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington state
I am going through a divorce, while I was married my husband and I were added with a quick claim to my fathers property. The only reason my father allowed us to do a quick claim to get a small mortgage to do an addition to my fathers house, where my soon to be ex and I lived. I still live here but he moved out 4 years ago. I have been the only one paying on the mortgage because my ex has never had a job and then he moved out. The property was owned by my fathers uncle before he gave it to him, and has been in the family for over 50 years. My father pays the mortgage and taxes on the property, and I pay the second mortgage that we took out. My ex doesn't and never did pay towards this mortgage.
Does he have a right to this property? Would it be a good idea for the family to take the ex into civil court??
