Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Judgment

My judgement was to pay an x boyfriend money, legal fees were to high, so we settled. I was to pay him 15,000 and sign title over to our home which I did. he was to take the loan out of my name, per the judge. He never did and I never paid him. I tried to take out a loan but I couldn't because of the loan still in my name. He then did a grant deed to his father. His father never took the loan out of my name. 2 years after the judgement they sold the home and made 72,000. My x is now coming after me for the money. Is there anything I can do or any law pertaing to this fraud.

Re: Judgment

If you have a signed settlement agreement stating that the money from the house was part of the settlement than he is required to file a satisfaction of judgment since the debt was paid when the house was sold. Does he know your bank account number or even where you bank? If he does, he can take the judgment and file a lien and take the money straight out of your bank account. You need to force him to file a satisfaction of judgment with the court. If you would like additional information please feel free to contact my office toll free at 877-546-9918 or by email at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

John Hayes, Esq.
