Divorce decree states our home was to be short sold, bank approved now but ex refuses to sign am I responsible?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Pamela R. Lawson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Pamela R. Lawson
You will need to call your ex ask him one more time to sign the papers as ordered by the court in your decree; if he refuses, you need to go back to court on an Order Shortening Time for an Order whereby the court can sign for him and request attorney fees for the appearance and motion if you use counsel. My position on the who should draft the QDRO is he should be responsible, he's getting the benefit.

What should I do to ensure that my ex-husband will pay me for the house?

Laura J Gabel
Answered by attorney Laura J Gabel (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gabel, Gudmundsen & Gabel, P.C.
The best answer to your question will depend upon certain facts which are not disclosed in your question. For example, is there substantial equity in the house (i.e. value over and above any mortgage or other liens). If so, you can protect yourself by placing a lien on the home which you would not discharge until your ex-husband pays you your money. It is important to do this as soon as possible after your divorce so that your ex-husband does not have the opportunity to take out an equity line or incur any other type of debt which becomes a lien on the property (your lien is superior to any liens that arise after you record, it is subservient to any liens that predate your filing). If there is little or no equity in the house (or at least less than 25K), are there other assets against which you could have a lien to secure your debt? If your judgment has not yet been finalized, you should make sure that there is language in it describing your lien(s). If your name is still on a mortgage, you will also want to make sure that the judgment contains consequents (immediate listing and sale) if your ex-husband defaults on the mortgage payments.

I have a texas marriage license but live in colorado ..can my husband force me to come back to texas for divorce

Kelly Snodgrass
Answered by attorney Kelly Snodgrass
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Ryan Kinsey, PLLC
First, if he controls the money and always has, he will likely be responsible for your attorney fees.  You should definitely consult an attorney.  The question is - in what state should you consult an attorney? Jurisdiction (what state the divorce can happen in) is determined by where the parties live, not by where the marriage or wedding occured.  How long have you lived in Colorado?  How long has he lived in Texas?  Do you have children?  In Colorado, you must have resided here, with an intent to live here permanently, for at least 90 days.  If that is the case, we could certainly help you.  If not, I am not licensed in Texas and you would need to contact a lawyer there. As to the prenuptial agreement, it is only enforceable regarding spousal support to the extent it is not grossly unfair to you.  The situation you describe sounds like it IS grossly unfair to you and can likely be challenged. I strongly suggest you consult an attorney because the issues are complex and he has a much strong negotiating position.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
