What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
My ex and I filed for divorce, and the judge order the family home to be sold by a private realtor. The house was painted and cleaned in anticipation for the sale, and is currently listed with his choice realtor. The house is not occupied by myself or the ex, and has not been for the past year since being listed with a private realtor. My ex decided to move our daughter and 2male friends into the home without my consent this past month. The renters are not expected to pay any money towards the mortgage while occupying this home via my ex. My ex has also failed to pay his half of the mortage while the home was unoccupied and continues the pattern while it is occupied even though I have be consistant with paying my half.
The divorce settlement does not state who is responsible for paying the mortgage, nor who is able to occupy the home. Mind you, neither my ex or myself have occupied the home for the past year. I have since hired a lawyer in a futile attempt to begin closing the loop holes associated with the financial obligation of the home, and many problems a judge failed to foresee in the event the home did not sell in a timely manner. I recently received a letter from my ex's lawyer of her intention to withdraw as his lawyer due to my ex ignoring his financial obligation to her also. (Mind you he works, and receives a good pay in addition to me paying him support--long story).
My question to the post (and looking forward to Bali's haste) is what to expect now that my ex is no longer being represented by his lawyer (very good lawyer I might add) and who uses his sister's address for his home base? I foresee he may feel he will not be forced to answer to my lawyer on the grounds he never "received" any papers filed by my lawyer forcing him back to court to close the "loop" holes associated with the sale of the home, and the financial obligation attached to the mortgage prior to the sale.
I have gone above and beyond in playing the "care-taker" of the home while on the market, but have now been told by the ex to "respect" the privacy of the current occupiers, and to stay away from the home because "nothing of mine is there", yet be expected to keep up my end of the financial obligation of the home while he fails to do the same.
Can you help me with my expectations of getting my ex back to the "three-ring-circus" court, in a futile attempt to resolve the issues a judge failed to foresee, regarding issues related to the jointly-owned home mortgage? Can my ex play the "hide and seek" mouse game because of his dis-association of his lawyer's motion to withdraw? He trully has no concrete address at this time? (although I know he may). How do you force a rat out of the wood work, to face the problems associated with this, after he so carefully placed his "foot-soldiers" where he wanted them at this point and time in a battle (that should had ended the war).
