Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
I am in the middle of a divorce. My son is buying his first house and I am co-signing on it and plan to live with him in the home until the divorce is done. My future ex-wife filed a "contempt and request for injunctive relief" to keep me from co-signing the loan. The implication is that I am putting my future credit at risk and if there is an issue with my son's house, I might not be able to fulfil whatever obligation I might have to her in the future. Keep in mind, for the past year, I have been giving her money for child support and alimony...far more than will be given after we are divorced so my financial situation doesn't get worse. Also, the rent I will pay my son will be less than what I am paying now.
My question, does she have any leg to stand on?

I am not sure why you are asking here rather than calling your lawyer. Since your case involves alimony, child support and property issues, certainly you have one. Your lawyer is best equipped to answer you.
As I am sure your lawyer told you, most courts have a standing order that prohibits a variety of transactions without prior court approval. It sounds like you are in violation of that order, or my be. Call your attorney immediately.
