What is the name of your state? CA
Wife and I were married 26 years, separated January, 2005. Court Order in June stated she was to assume responsibility for mortgage payments. We agreed to refinance the house with an assumable loan. However, the problem is her poor credit. This now makes it impossible for us to refinance together. She has a chance with one loan company to clear her credit and refinance at the same time, but she refuses to put in an application. Her excuse is she thinks I deliberately had her removed from the promissory note for the present loan, which is not true. Real reason is since I'm solely responsible for the mortgage she wants me to keep paying it as long as possible. At what point can she be held in Contempt of Court for not trying to refinance or can the court order the house to be sold. I'm on an out of state job assignment until January, which is when my employer will stop paying my living expenses. At that point I face the prospect of paying the mortgage on the existing home, rent on an apartment plus spousal support.
