JM asked:


Ex wife constantly late on her mortgage payments. She was awarded the house in divorce but no copy of judgment filed at the register of deeds office. I never signed a quit claim deed. my name is still on the note. Me and my new wife got served with foreclosure papers. Now ex is saying she made last chance program arrangement with loan company. I called and she hasn’t paid yet this month. I feel like a sitting duck. I can’t afford to make her mortgage payment (I’m paying off 2nd mortgage as ordered in decree and always on time) She won’t refinance (wasn’t ordered to in divorce decree but language does say “hold harmless”) She could ask her parents to cosign but she won’t. My new wife says we should petition the court to have her held in contempt and also force her to sell the house. We haven’t heard anything more on the foreclosure but are afraid the bomb could drop any day if she misses more payments. Do we need a real estate attorney or can family court force her to sell
