Ex husband refuses to sell house

[lowroller58]

So I got a divorce in Florida a year ago. I made many mistakes in the divorce like, I agreed to pay half the morgage untill the house sold. A year later the house has not sold my ex husband is still living in it and refuses to lower the price to help sell it. He has no incentive to sell the house as I pay half the morgage and he gets to live there alone. The house has negative equity now because of the housing crunch. I am prepared to sell at a loss but he said that he would not sell unless I pay for all of the loss and he pays nothing. I now live across the country and am paying for my house here and half of that house. At this point I am ready to forclose on the Florida house but he said because our divorce settlement says we will split the morgage that by law I have to pay. What can I do I feel like I have no options. I don't know if it matters but he is in the military.
Thanks

Did you have an attorney?
Have you reread your divorce decree CAREFULLY to make sure there were no limits to the payments, or stipulations that you be removed from the mortgage?
I think you could go back to court and claim that there was an oversight, and that final disposition of the home was never decided.

There was no attorney. I know... I know.... it was a huge mistake.

Then I think you need to go back to court.

and this time hire a lawyer!

No doubt - you need to get to court with a lawyer ASAP. The court will frown upon his behavior.

Best wishes!

I'm in the same situation but my ex states because of the market conditions he can't refinance. Therefore, my credit is being used and abused and my debt ratio is so high that some of my credit cards are being withheld for credit. We are going back to court. Any advice?
