I recently sold my home due to divorce settlement and in the closing costs, there is over payments made by me for mortgage and taxes. These are now credits in the closing statment that my ex wants half of. I've been paying all housing expensese by myself for the last 3 years. My attorny and her attorny want these over payments to go to a locked trust account (along with other monies) to be argueed in court in a few months. She now refuses to sign the instructions to the title company about the disbursment of the funds unless she gets that money now. The buyers of my home are scheduled to move in this week along with their buyers moving into their old home. The realtor received instructions from my ex, not to contact her for any reason to discuss it and that if I don't agree, she will let the whole deal fall through. She has already submitted her own instructions to the title company.
My question... What can be done about this? I have so much money tied up in moving and aquiring a new place and now the funds are held hostaige. Is there any leagle action I can take. I'm losing interest on the money and if I don't give in, my buyers will have to change their moving plans.
Thanks for any help.
