What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I was divorced almost 5 years ago and kept the house. There were many liens attached to my house that were my ex-husband's. The divorce decree states that my ex-husband is responsible for 1/2 of all liens that were attributable to us both and for 100% that were in his name alone. When the house was sold almost 2 years ago, I had to pay the liens from the proceeds of the house. (I actually had to take out a loan because there was not enough money to pay the outstanding mortgage and all the liens.) What is the time period or statute of limitations that I have to act within in order to pursue the money he owes me? I am afraid if I act now, he will retaliate and no longer visit our daughter so I would prefer to wait a few years until she is grown. Is there anything I need to do to protect my rights? Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
