I am unable to make mortgage payments neither is my husband. He lives in the family home in Texas and I live in AZ. In order to prevent foreclosure we need to sell the home, he refuses. Is there a legal way to force the sale in order to prevent foreclosure?
He has filed for divorce in Texas but no where near a court date!!!! I have no attorney.

Re: Can house sale be forced?
First, get a lawyer to assist you with the divorce. There could be issues with your pending divorce that would interfere with an action involving community property.
That being said, there may be a rememdy available to you to force the sale of the home. You can make a motion to the court to force the sale of the home (so long as you are the collective owners) The action is called a motion to partition the property. Consult with your divorce attorney first, though.
