I live in the state of Washington and finalized my divorce in that state 2 years ago. In order to retain my personal residence
1) I agreed to pay my x-spouse $50,000.00 at time of settlement and $4000.00 in 2 years, plus interest accured. The 2 years have elapsed and I am unable to pay the $4000.00 at this time. At the time of the divorce settlement the $50,000.00 was paid
2) and a Quit Claim Deed was filed in court making me sole owner of the home.
3) A lien was placed against the property for the $4000.00.
I have received 2 letters from my x-husband stating that I am out of complience with the divorce settlement and must send him the $4000.00 owed immediately. He says that he has retained a lawyer and that he is starting legal proceedings to get his $4000.00 plus interest. He states that I will have to pay all of his attorney fees and any other accured cost he uses to collect this debt.
I am retired and on a fixed income. I have remarried.
1) Can my new husband be held liable for this debt? His name is not on the deed of trust.
2) Can my x-husband foreclose the lien and take the house.
3) Can I be held liable for his attorney fees etc.
4) What can he do to force me to pay this debt?
5) I thought that the lien was placed in case that I did not pay the debt and that it would stay in affect until such time as the property were sold. Then the $4000.00 would be taken from the proceeds and all accured interest. Is this correct?
