You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

From your question, it is hard to determine if you are still married or if the divorce is final. I will presume that since you mention alimony it has been finalized. If so, the disposition of the house should have been resolved during the divorce. If your son is a minor, there is a good chance that you would have been allowed to continue to remain in the house until your son reaches the age of 18.

I would suggest that you contact your attorney in person or by telephone (and not email) and try to enlist the attorney's aid in protecting your interests. Perhaps the final judgment could be modified to give the house to you in lieu of further alimony?
