can my ex husband force me to turn over my1/2 of house...I was told by one of your associated wives to ask this. My ex and his lawyer and trying to get me out of the house. I own 1/2, but his goal is to sue me over frivilous things and make my life miserable. They say if I do not sign over my half, they will hold me in contempt and force me out because a sale fell though 3 years ago and I was blamed w9ithout proof. Please help me
Welcome fern,
It looks like your ex-spouse is all after you just to take over the property from you. I suppose it'll be better if you take help of an attorney so that the ex-spouse doesn't go far and sue you.
As far as selling the property is concerned, he can file a Partition Lawsuit, which is similar to a forced sale of the home. But the court will allow you to take your share of sale proceeds.
