What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PENNSYLVANIA.
Hi.
2013- My now husband was previously married and caught his E-W cheating on him in front of his face. He took the dog and moved out asap.
2014- Divorced, per terms, she continued living in and taking care of all rent, and the rule was she had 2 years to put on market, split gain/loss at a certain percent (not sure specifics). They put no money down on this home, her mother paid. He basically split mortgage for the time they were there. *NOTE: not sure if it matters, but they bought the house together before they got married, so I hear that makes options more expensive/complicated. Both names on the house. She never changed hers.
2016- June house was needed to be listed, it came & went, E-W said she got a job across country and was going to rent the home out for a year, see if the market improves, because at the time they would probably lose money, he said ok. She now makes money off renting this home to pay the mortgage and likely has a property manager.
2017- Husband and I are married, we buy a home 20% down- all good and split. I tell him we need to cut this house out of our lives and move on without it. He agrees, approaches her and she says no. So he says "Ok then it gets listed tomorrow" Finally, she says ok, she learns she now makes more money herself then they both did when they applied for the mortgage, to outright take over the mortgage on her own. But she was going to make him pay more than half for all of the fees because "she couldn't afford it" He said he would give her $3,000 and no more and she agreed. Turns out the program/deal she was banking on did not approve her because she had left the state. So that fell through. NOT HIS FAULT.
2018- What is the next move here? She is making money off this house, and my husband has this property in his name that god forbid anything happened to he will be liable. We have bought a new home together, we have a mortgage. We want this out of our lives as it should have been in 2016. We have our savings together, and now all our finances could potentially be going to getting rid of this house.
Is there any way to force her? Contempt? Is just agreeing to wait ONE YEAR via email enough to break what the divorce documents stated must be done. She needs to move. She is not motivated and neither is he, but I am tired of this so would like some insight. Thank you!!
