Legal Question in Family Law in California
Collecting Owed Money from my ex wife
When my ex and I got divorced, I
stayed with the house but she was to
remain on the title until 2018 when
the house would be paid off. In the
divorce stipulation it states she is
responsible for any maintnance and
repairs made to the house over
$250. so I am wondering what that
covers. When we got divorced we had
just bought a brand new house. It
has been six years and my backyard
still has no grass. I have concrete
floors in my downstairs because the
carpet was so destroyed it had to
come out. When I put my floors in
and the grass etc, will she be
responsible for half? I am asking
becuase in 2018 we either have to
sell the house and split the money or
I have to buy her out. so to me it
seems that anything like that she
would have to help me pay for since
it is still technically half hers! Please
help!!

Re: Collecting Owed Money from my ex wife
The answer will depend upon the terms of the agreement. The work you are referring to would increase the sales price and would be an item that should be reimbursed. Often this would be done at the time of the sale, as that is the time the increase in value would seen.
