Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I signed a quit claim deed, with the agreement per the divorce decree that my ex wife will be responsible for the mortgage. She has 1 year from the court order which was May 2010, to get the house in her name. I resently found out she has not paid the mortgage for 1 year, just decided to pay the property taxes. What am I to do? I can not evict her, because the deed is in her name. She violated the court order to pay the mortgage. Now she still lives there for free and the mortgage company is coming after me. How do I get her out of the house, so that I could work with the mortgage company to catch up the mortgage and sell the home. I was told I can not sell the home, because she has the deed. She choices not to pay but live in the home for free. I need help. I have petition the court, and she told them she will pay soon. What do I do?

A Motion To Compel Enforcement should be promptly pursued.

Is she voluntarily just opting not to pay, or has she suffered a financial setback?

You are probably looking at approximately, a $1,200.00 retainer.

The above information is provided without any consideration having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
