Are they married? If so, she can probably file for divorce and have the court order the sale of the home. Some money (assuming there are proceeds) might be then set aside for your father, but at least your mother can get out from under it. Look up a family law attorney in the yellow pages if you don't get a better response than this crappy one.

A partition action will have to be filed. Because your father may be hard to serve, a search must be made and the lawsuit could be served by publication if he cannot be served. Please call me if you have any other questions.

Mr. Berger's proposal is the simplest and most straight forward procedure. She could request spousal support based on his ability to earn.
