Legal Question in Family Law in California

In May 2011, my ex wife and I entered into a marital settlement agreement in which the house (community property) was not granted to either party because I had filed for banckruptcy and the house was in my name only. As a result of the BK, I agreed to surrender the property to the bank however she refuses to vacate the property. She has been living there rent free and charging rent to tenants for a room. What action if any can I take to make her vacate the property? Neither one of us is entititled to live there.

That was a serious omission not to include it in the marital settlement. You need to have an attorney review all the details and assist you with this.

If the bank owns the property, it is the bank's problem, and none of your business who lives there.
