Asked on Mar 07th, 2016 on Divorce - Massachusetts
More details to this question:
If house is in forclosure because the spouse who was living in the house was ordered in divorce and didn't pay for over a year can the spouse who had moved out and did it have to pay be able to get the other spouse for contempt and make her pay back the mortgage to protect his credit ? Will the bank work with him on a short sale ?

You will have a right to file for contempt and get compensation from your ex. But, the mortgage company is not bound by the divorce decree and may try to collect the payments directly from you. You should contact the credit agency which will allow to explain that your ex was responsible for the payment but that may not help your credit score. Best wishes.
