Ex still doesn't cooperate


Recommended Posts

My ex still lives with the woman he cheated with (been 1.5 years) that they live together...

 

We are divorced. Yet we still share a property that we should communicate and sell. He is not communicating and I don't want to spend more money on lawyers. What to do?

If he won't communicate or cooperate then you really have 3 options:

  • Accept it and live with the current situation
  • Bite the bullet and go with the lawyers
  • Attempt to DIY it

 

There's a few factors which could affect which one is best for you...

- Who is currently living in the house?

- How much is it worth, and how much mortgage?

- Have you got a financial agreement as part of your divorce? What does it say about the house?

- Are there other unresolved assets of your marriage (including dismissal of future claims)?

If he refuses to communicate and/or sell this joint asset then in UK you can have your solicitor apply to the Courts for a Court Order. The Court will then take possession of the property, sell it and distribute the money.

 

This will cost money but you could take the fees out of the sale of the property.

 

Ask yourself if losing a few bucks is better than being in limbo still attached (even if it's only financially) to a cheater?

 

Otherwise you'll just have to suck it up and wait on him. :eek:

I am in the benefit end. I stay in the property while paying half of the mortgage. The property value is skyrocketing as there is "bubble market " currently where I live. Market experts says 2 more years before bubble will burs. He continues to pay half of his part of the mortgage.

What makes me nervous is he literally does not communicate so here I am having a financial attachment with someone I have not seen for a year at least and have not talked except a msg here or there which is very random. For the most he ignores all the msgs I had sent in past which has been a while ago. ...months ago.
