HI,my divorce settlement states that my ex wife has one year to pay me $150,000 for the home and to refinance it in her name. That was signed 2008, she has failed to do either. She somehow got the deed to the property worth 800,00 in her name solely and the $600,000 mortgage still has my name on it. I was paying child support for two children up until 2012 when I became unemployed. I am back to work for the past year and child support has not continued. How should I proceed? She says a judge told her she doesn\'t have to pay me the $150,000 because I owe some child support. I don\'t know where to begin the battle. My credit score is now a 400! I need serious help and now I\'m broke and she is \"squatting\" in the million dollar home! HELP!!
You really need to contact a matrimonial or family lawyer to help you sort out some of these issues by way of enforcement orders to get your ex-wife to comply with the existing orders. If she "says" a judge told her something - she is wrong. The Judge would have written an order, and just becuase you did not comply with child support doesn't mean she is absolved of paying the entire $150,000.
