What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I received the findings and order of my divorce 75 days ago. In it, the judge placed a value of the house at $310,000. I had it reappraised in order to purchase it and the appraisal came in at $243,000. I told opposing council I would either buy it at $243,000 or we could sell it. Her atty says if we sell it, I still need to pay equity based on the $310,000. The 60 day deadline is now passed for me to purchase it according to the findings. My wife is living in the house and refuses to do anything - including getting a job but that's another story. Should I find an agent and try to sell it? Her atty says wants to take me back to court to get the judge to rule in his favor. She owes me a lot of money but won't pay till the house sells or I buy it. If the house sells, do I have to pay the equity based on the $310,000 or the final selling price?
