California (only U.S. law)?
Hi there.
My husband and I are divorced. We split everything 50/50 the whole time we were married. Even down to the grocery bills. My family builds custom homes in San Diego. They helped us build our home. My mother , and brother also happen to be real estate brokers. They have had our house listed for over 1.5 years now.
The house has been shown over, and over, and we have had several offers.
My Ex-husband wouldn't agree to any of them. He is still currently living alone in the house, and has been for over a year. All the while I have still been paying 1/2 of the mortgage, property taxes..etc.
I tried to get him to move out, so we could rent the place, he refused.
He claimed It was my choice to move to Seattle, otherwise I could still be living there.
I have moved to Seattle, and have moved on with my life. Of course I want to make as much as we can on the house, but am willing to cut our losses to get on with our lives.
I didn't take 1/2 his cars, 1/2 his 401k when we split, as these were his.
I need to know what my legal rights are, and how to proceed.
I've even offered to buy him out of his 1/2 based on several comps in the area.
Thank you for any help

One more thought the past two times property taxes were due, I was forced to pay them in total with the promise of reimbursement when the house sells because he had no money. What happens if he defaults on his 1/2 of the mortgage payments?
