Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

relocating an employee

The president of the company my husband worked for told us that he would be responsible for our house in Texas for moving us to Georgia. He broke his word and we lost our house. What can we do? Do we have a case? Plus when he came tgo Texas and moved us, he left half of our belongings behind.

When did this happen? Where in Texas did you move from? What exactly happened?

Re: relocating an employee

Was the agreement that the employer would (a) Buy your house in Texas, (b) Find a broker for you in Texas, (c) Make the payments on your house in Texas (if so, for how long), or (d) other?

The specific agreement could make a lot of difference. I am led to believe that there was a foreclosure. If so, you should have received notice, and surely you left a forwarding address with the post office. If there was an accelleration notice sent, you should have had an opportunity to bring the note into current status. If a foreclosure notice was received, was the employer notified of the notice? If you ignored all of this, you may have a problem laying all or any of your loss off on to the employer.

If the employer outright broke its promise, you may have a case for part of the damages. Because you now live in Georgia, you likly can bring your suit in Georgia. It does make it awkward to sue the employer for whom you are still working.
