My divorce was final last July. In the divorce agreement, my ex agreed to pay one half of the mortgage payment until the house sold. The agreement says he will mail me his half each month. The house has been on the market since the divorce was final. I currently reside in the house.
In October, he left to join the Army and made his father the power of attorney. When he was gone, two months went by and the check from him was late. I had trouble paying on time. Next, the roof leaked and caused water damage and mold on the ceiling. I paid to repair it and could not get him to pay anything. House repairs were not stated in the agreement. So, I was late again for two more months.
Yesterday, I received a certified letter from his father demanding that I send my half of the payment to him starting April 1, 2008. I have already made the payment early. He said that if I do not do this, he will procee with legal process. He said I have hurt his son's credit and that I will comply. If he does not send money, where do I go from here? I mailed a copy of the paid receipt to him certified and told him I would not send the money as it would go against the legal dissolution agreement. I have also not seen any paperwork proving he is the power of attorney. Why would I choose to follow through with his demands?
To add more problems, my ex is also required in the dissolution agreement to pay a loan that he took out under my name prior to the divorce. His credit score was not high enough to secure his own loan, so he makes payments directly to the loan company. Last July, he made installment payments and the bank did not recognize them as a full monthly payment and charged late fees. I discussed it with him and he agreed to take care of the late fees. He never did. Since then, he has made the monthly payment minus the late charges, so really never paying the actual minimum amount due. In my letter explaining the house to him, I also included this fact.
Can him and his father proceed with anything against me if I am now making the payments on time and proving by receipt each month?What is the name of your state?
