What do you do when the dual owner of a house refuses to leave or cooperate after signing the purchase and sale and a document to agree to sell the house? This is a nasty divorce situation. The divorce court’s finding was to sell the house and split the proceeds. He is occupying the house now and the closing is in 15 days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The answer to this question is: I am not an attorney. You have to take this up with your divorce lawyer to see what can be done lawfully and without resort to the long arm of Colonel Colt.<\/p>\n

It happens that I have a sale going on right now with a very similar situation. She’s gone, he remains, and he managed to kill two prior contracts with his recalcitrance. I represent the buyer on the third contract, but we<\/i> got lucky: The divorce judge has ordered that the soon-to-be-ex-wife is solely authorized to negotiate and sign for both parties, with the proceeds to be split according to the judge’s orders.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if this could work for you, but it is at least possible<\/i> to resolve a conflict like this. I wish you good fortune…
