What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Hawaii
My wife filed for Divorce in May and also filed a motion for Temporary Relief claiming I was a danger to my family. We have a 2 year old son together. The judge ruled in her favor on the motion and I was evicted from my home. I was ordered to pay half of the mortgage of our jointly owned home and child support during the divorce preceedings. It has been seven months and I was wondering why I did not receive any word or mail regarding going to mediation. I recently learned that my wife did not go thru with the entire divorce preceedings. My wife still refuses to allow me to return to our home. I was wondering if legally I can still be kept from returning to my home? I'm assuming I must file a motion to go before the judge to asked to be allowed to return to my home? Can I still be legally forced to pay half the mortgage when my wife will not let me return home. I also have a few other questions. If I decide to file for divorce what are my options with our jointly owned home. I can no longer afford to pay half my mortgage, child support, and rent for a place to live. If my wife can not afford to buy me out of half the equity and I can not afford to buy her out what would happen? Can I demand the house be auctioned or do we have to put it for sale on the open market? Homes are not selling at all on our island right now so I think it would take a considerable amount of time to sell and as I stated before, I can not afford to make payments on the home very much longer. What are my options?
Thank You in advance for any advice!
