Property split

[pursaa]

What is the name of your state? WA

I have been divorced for 12 years. My ex was allowed to stay in my home until my son was 18. The papers sayed the home sold in 7 years, that was 5 yrs ago. She will not let me sell it. nor will she move out or buy me out. I have offered to buy her out, but she is refusing to let me buy it.

I went to a divorce atterney and he said it was a real estate issue and gave me the name of a real estate lawyer. I called him and he said it was a matter for a divorce atterney.

I can I get this issue resolved and what type of atterney do I need?

Well...she is in contempt of your original orders/agreement, therefore I would assume that you should take it back to court and ask the judge to find her in contempt, and to force the issues of the home sale.

Contact another family law attorney.

And be sure to ask the court for reimbursement of your attorney fees along with ALL other costs to make you whole. You have waited way the h@ll too long already.

Get going!

So why did the lawyer I went to tell me, I needed a real estate attorney? And that she does not have to do nothing until the house is sold, but she will not allow the house to be sold?

Is the house still in both your names on the DEED?

It was only in my name. I bought and paid for it before we were married, but we were living together

And why have you not evicted her? Why have you not filed a partition action?

Why have you not moved back in or placed a "FOR SALE" sign on the lawn?

THere is much more to this story than you're telling here because this story just doesn't make sense.

You're every woman's dream. You need to lawyer up and grow a set.

Not necessarily in that order.

Yah, you are telling me, but I can't seem to be able to fix this problem. Somehow her name ended up on the tax records. I do not know how. On the surface it looks like she owns it. The only thing I have is the divorce degree, saying I own half.

This is not a laughing matter. I need to know who I can talk to and how to get this issue resolved? This has gone on too long and I want to end this now, but I need help and I can't seem to get any.

Is there a form I can fill out and file with the courts. What are the steps?

I don't get in the habit of repeating myself.

So, if you don't care to read my answer you're on your own.

I do not know who's name is now on the deed. My name was on both the deed and tax records. Now her name is on the tax records and I don't know how this got changed. So now I don't know if my name is on the deed or what.

Because I have a divorce document saying I am entitled to half the house, can I put it up for sale without her permission. I assume not. I have had two lawyers tell me two different things and now I am confussed as to what to do.

I would think I could take her back to court, but then why would the lawyer tell me that. I am doing my best to understand how this works. Has anyone else had this issue and what did you do to fix it?

[BelizeBreeze]

Are you dense or just plain stupid. I gave you the answer two posts ago and yet you continue to come on this site and lamant irrelevant facts.

Either go read the post where I told you what to do or put up with what she's doing....but stop playing the martyr. It's not working.

I can't just move back in. I was ordered to move out years ago. Besides, I don't think my wife today would be very happy with that arrangement.

What is a partition action? I haven't filed one because I have never heard of it.
