What can I do if my wife was given the house in our divorce and she is not making payments and its hurting my credit?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eric K Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Utah Family Law LC
In Utah, if the award of the house to your ex-wife in the divorce was conditioned upon her making the mortgage payment in full and on time, but your ex-wife as failed to perform that condition, you can go back into court seeking a modification of the decree of divorce, asking that the house be awarded to you or that the house be sold to remove you from the mortgage is liable party. You can also ask on a temporary basis that your wife the order to vacate the house and that renters be allowed in, if you have renters available, so that your ex-wife no longer has possession and occupancy of the house and you have a means of having the mortgage paid pending sale. There may be other options available to you as well, but these are the most common. You would be wise to have an attorney help you with this as opposed to trying to do it yourself, as doing it yourself will probably take a lot of time but you don't have and you wouldn't want to make a mistake.

Can a green card holder be deported after 7 years of marriage by a US citizen?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Divorce lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Regarding the immigration issue, nothing in your post indicates a basis by which the USCIS could or would seek to terminate your Lawful Permanent Resident status, since it seems impossible that your husband could convince immigration authorities that you and he participated in fraud to attain your marriage-based adjustment of status - this is particularly true where a couple has had children together. It sounds like you have reached a point where you do not intend to seek marriage counseling to try to resuscitate your marriage, whether for the benefit of your children or otherwise, and I am sorry to learn that. Regarding your husband "coming after you," you should consult with a domestic relations/divorce attorney not only to learn about your rights and responsibilities in a divorce, but also to address whether you may need to seek a restraining order from a court. If your husband becomes threatening, of course, you should consider contacting the police.
