Legal Advice on Selling a House after Divorce

Questioner

Dear ls I have been divorced for a year now. We now own a house that we both still live in. I want to sell the house. She refuses to cooperate. Can anything be done about this? The house is in both names because we were married in community of property.

Lawyer

Yes, something can be done about that. If there is a large negative equity (appraisal seems appropriate), then you must also share the debts and so the question is whether it is wise to sell. But on the other hand, no one needs to be stuck with shared ownership after the end of the community. You can enforce the sale of the home through the court (summary proceedings). You need a lawyer for that. You can obtain further information directly via the direct button on this site.
