What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut
I've been divorced for 2.5 years and recently discovered my Ex is foreclosing on the home awarded to her in the decree. I quit-claimed the house, however my name is still on the note. I was awarded 25% from the proceeds of a sale. The decree states she must pay the mortgage, etc. and those amounts were factored into my support obligation. I plan to file a motion of contempt for her failure to pay the mortgage as instructed in the decree.
I know this topic has appeared on this forum, however, my question is how would the judge rule on the contempt? Would the judge reduce my obligation because there is no mortgage? What about losing the 25% from a sale? I'm just trying to get a high-level view from anyone that has gone through this and what the outcome was.
Thanks for your help!
