Forced foreclosure by ex.
I was divorced in Jan. 05. My ex spouse was to sign an acquit claim deed at that time, and it still hasn't been filed. I wanted to sell the home back then... and now the housing market here in Ohio is in a terrible slump. I fell behind on the mortgage, as I have been paying it all along... and now the home is close to foreclosure. This was the only asset that I was awarded in the divorce. Without the equity from my home, I have nothing to move on with. I do not have a good paying job, as I was out of the workforce for 15 years raising the kids in my marriage. Is there any way I can sue my ex for damaging my credit further? He was also absolved of back payments he owed in child support... and in return, I got to keep custody of my kids. He is very wealthy... and already owns a new home that is worth three times what mine is worth... and he is still the lead on my loan. Help! I don't want to lose my kids to this abusive and controlling man... and they don't want to have to live with him in a blended family. I need counsel now... and I cannot afford an attorney. I went to all available agencies here in my area, only to find that they have waiting lists to take the cases. Due to my poor credit rating, I cannot be accepted in apartment or rental properties. I will have nowhere to live by Christmas. Please, help!
