I am doing my own divorce I can't afford an attorney and the house is now in foreclosure we have 2 children and I advised my husband (who moved to Georgia) the home will go up for sherriff sale on 2/5/10 he stated that's not my problem. In court I advised the Judge he was not paying child support and requested the order of temporary child support. But Nothing! I am considered disable and my social security was just approved in December, I currently have enough to pay the money to keep the home out of foreclosure my problem is if I pay the amount could he still get part of my home or should I just let it go? _________________ Need help choosing the right loan?

In that case, I guess your name is also not on the property deed. Thus, you will not be able to claim any ownership of the property. You've mentioned that your house is in foreclosure. I hope your name is not on the mortgage docs. In that case, you may let the lender foreclose the property as it will not affect your credit score in any way. The lender will also not be able to sue you for the dues. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success

I signed away my dower rights, 2 of the properties are in foreclosure. will the banks be able to take our personal property(house & cars) if my name is on them? Am I liable for any of this?

However, he will have to file a lawsuit in order to get a judgment to place a lien on the property. However, you won't be liable for any debts that your husband owes to his creditors/lenders. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success
