Sale of Marital Assest home


What is the name of your state? Florida

I am in a marital home for over 12 year since my divorce and had nothing but heartache,pain and suffering from my ex-husband because of a bitter divorce and restraining order against him. He would call the mortgage company all the time blocking me from the mortgage if things did not go his way, tell the children it's his house and I am just renting from him, etc. When we bought the home, we were married and it was placed in his name only due to an illness Ihad at the time. I knew it was still marital assest regardless. I have filed all sorts of paperwork with the courts to get a forcement of sell from the courts, but I was filing in the wrong format. I am saving to hire an attorney just to file this paperwork for me. Is this right to be treated this way? My blood pressure has been high, I can't sleep at night and I know this is a type of control thing that abusive people do. Can the Judge step in and do something? This is 12 years of hell and I have had enough.

No. The judge can't just "step in and do something."

If you were filing incorrectly, that's on you, legally. Do save for an attorney to get it done right, and select your attorney carefully to ensure you get the right one for you.

Why don't you just negotiate a refi and buyout his interest? I mean, gee, 12 YEARS YOU have had sole use of the marital home but haven't seen fit to get him off the loan or buy him out? Seems like it's been enough time.

I'm sure once you agree to get him off the mortgage and pay him for his half of the house, you won't have all the drama. Plus, then he won't even BE on the loan.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried to buy him out, but he insisted "No" just to keep controlling me and I am in the marital home til the last child turns 18 and the courts have jurisdiction over the home. So I will hire an attorney to get away from this and have him buy me out(which he can't afford) or have the courts do forcement of sale and for him to concur to agree. Isn't this still part of abuse? Mentally?

Not even close. Not even in the same area code.
