What is the name of your state? Virginia.
I wrote recently about my divorce settlement that stated that I would live in and pay the mortgage on the home we shared and the proceeds would be split equally if and when it was sold. I had trouble selling it and decided to rent it out for 8 years. She said, despite the settlement, she didn't want anything but now has reneged and wants half the proceeds of the upcoming sale. I was advised on this site to just sell it and pay her because I was quite stupid to begin with. Fine. Now, the problem is that we have been told the house needs thousands of dollars of termite treatments, paint, carpet, and residing before it can be sold. She refuses to pay any of this and we can't afford it alone, if we're going to lose half of the sale proceeds. Can we force her to pay anything at all? If we don't sell and continue to rent it, we're just throwing away our money just to give it to her later. Plus, we'll still have to make the repairs!
