What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas
My Divorce has been final for 16months. Final divorce decree said that the house goes to my ex and he was to refinance it in 60 days and that the court would have jurisdiction over the matter. I signed a quit claim deed at the time the divorce was final. He still has not refinanced. He has had a host of excuses that may or may not be true originally he said he couldn't get a loan then he said he got approved but a down payment was required and he can't afford that, also now he says that he wants to sell the house but wants to sell it "by owner" because he can't afford real estate commission.
Bottom line...nothing has happened in 16 months. I am still paying off my attorney (and many other debts) from the divorce and cannot afford to retain her services at this time. I want my name removed from the mortgage. His job is not secure and although he has paid the payments so far, I don't feel I can run the risk of him not being able to pay the payments because I won't be able to afford to pay them. What should I do? Should I attempt to hold him in contempt and represent myself? Is this a good option? If so...where do I start? What steps would I need to take to even do that??
