Trapped in property as Ex won’t sell

Some women stay at home and bring up the family/look after the place. The courts, rightly, recognise that as a valuable contribution. They don’t just look at the financial contribution.Rosa_Damascena said:
It is a crucial detail that seems to be missing, but we do know he feels he is the only one that has made the financial contribution towards the bricks and mortar.GDB2222 said:
I have a feeling that, ludicrous as it seems, the OP wasn’t offering her anything.Annisele said:henteaser said:She won’t sign the TR1 (transfer of equity) to remove her from the mortgage, nor will she agree to a sale to pay off the mortgage and allow us to move on.Has she said why not?"You're not offering me enough money" is very different from "I want to make your life as difficult as possible". And that's different again from "I think that getting a large lump sum will mess with my benefits".Ultimately, so long as there's enough equity to cover the mortgage and any court/legal fees, you will be able to force a sale. But resolving this amicably will be massively cheaper - and make sure you sort out the whole of your financial settlement whilst you're at it!Of course, it depends on the length of the marriage, and so on.The couple didn’t sort out the financial situation properly when they got divorced, so maybe this is an opportunity to do so? The ex- is clearly right not just to sign away her interest in the property.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Have you made provisions for if you die and your wife and ex wife then own the property? Is your new wife OK with this?
Has the ex never said she will move back in?Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....2
