Our family home mortgage is high an it takes a large percentage of my spousal support. I want to sell and relocate to a less expensive area. Ex left the house but doesn't want me to sell. Can I go back to court to request support for fixing up house or for him to pay a percentage for the house until he is ready to sell
Yes, you can do that. You should file a motion with the court outlining the amount of the mortgage, what the costs are and that you want to sell. You may not be able to sell the house until the divorce is final, or, if you can work something out, you might allow him to keep the house, but get additional support to find other housing. This is something the courts can adjust if you cannot afford the house and don't want it.
