Help.Is there anyway I can prevent this?

[NanaDeb]

What is the name of your state? Ohio
Thinking how I can put a very long story into a short one...
After a 22 year marriage my husband and I divorced.
I call it midlife crisis. New woman and new motorcycle...
We are still good friends.
I received a 100.000 settlement for my part of our home which was paid off.

A year after I met and married my new husband.
I did get a prenup before marriage, even thou this was the sweetest man I'd ever met.
Little did I know that soon...verbal, mental and physical abuse would start.
He was diagnosed as being bipolar with personality disorders,after first going thru chronic depression after both his parents died shortly after we married.
I stayed with this man thru all the abuse because he was seeking help and meds to get better.
He has worked little during the 3 years we have been married, just enough to keep his medical ins in effect thru his company. Last year he almost had a heart attack and ended up with 3 stents placed in his chest and on 7-8 different medications.
Now we were informed that he no longer has no ins.

I have wanted a divorce for months having given up on him getting stable with his mental issues.
I cant take the abuse anymore.
This wasn't new to him ,he has known for months I am done and was preparing to sell the house. Which WE bought right before we were married with ME putting my 100,000 down on the house. He put nothing.But the prepup states that if we divorced before 5 years this money would come back to me in the sell of the house.

Since I have told him, I am filing for divorce this spring (after finishing a rec room this winter first) AND he found out he has no medical ins. he stated to me "fine...file for divorce..the day I get the served I will immediately go to the ER.Tell them I am having chest pains and all the equity that is in this house will be gone " We already know when they did the stents there were more that needed done, but they chose not to do them at that time....

I thought he cant do this and ask my ins agent where I get my medical ins, Would they take my home over medical bills. And he said sadly they can. AND I couldn't file for bankruptcy because there is so much equity in the house.He is uninsurable...I've been denied by everywhere I applied ...Help...
I feel so used....blackmailed by someone I loved and did everything to try to help and work thru everything else. Does anyone know...Is there anyway I can prevent this?
Help please

We are both named on the mortgage. We owe over 70,000 yet.
But have over 100,000 equity.
I have not worked for over 20 years after spinal fusion and body cast for months.
I have ongoing back problems, thus cant work .
So he has made most of the house paynmets for the 2 1/2 years we bought this house.
Thanks in advance

Deb, you need to answer the question. How is the DEED worded --Not the mortgage but the deed?
The other important piece of information is the prenup and what EXACTLY it says regarding the house. Also the other elements but that would involve you typing it word for word.

I am glad you like my quote. I tell all my clients this.

First thing tomorrow call and get a consultation with an attorney. Many have free consults.
