now_what Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 My ex has been doing some "research". He can't find anything that states that it would be "wise" for him to quit claim the house to me while he is still on the mortgage. The separation agreement states that I am to have sole possession of the house and that I have seven years to refinance. It also states that upon my request he is to supply all deeds, etc. to carry out the order. Three different times we spoke to his attorney who said he would take care of it for $50.00 and not once did the attorney say he shouldn't do it. Now, he doesn't want to quit claim it, he says he will draw up a will stating that his interest in the house will pass to me upon his death. But what about if something happens to me? The agreement states that I am 100% responsible for all payments etc. So, I could die, the house would pass to him, yet my estate would be responsible for the payments. My biggest concern though is that he has remarried a real deadbeat and I'm afraid that her actions could result in a lien of some sort being placed on my house. Already, she took out credit in his name that she did not inform him about and didn't pay. I do not trust her and am very leery of his name still being on the deed and being married to her. I tried to refinance, but am unable to at this time. I have expressed my concerns to him and will give him a little more time to take care of this - although it has been almost three months since the dissolution was final. I told him if he had any issues with this he should have brought them up before our dissolution was final and certainly before he got married - which I think he was planning all along - that's why he rushed the dissolution through so quickly. That almost seems fraudulent to me, knowing he was going to get married, yet not settling the deed issues. He did not mention the remarriage to anyone, I just found the marriage license online by accident. Any advice on this situation?
Author now_what Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 Just to reinforce my anxiety I received 3 collection type calls for my ex today. Why is his wife giving out my phone number? Why would she even have my phone number? He won't give me his home phone number, just uses his work cell phone which he never answers outside of business hours - claims he doesn't get cell reception where he lives. So if there would be an emergency with the kids at night - I have no way of contacting him.
