Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I asked a question on here yesterday

"My wife and I are divorcing. I've already answered her petition. The problem is, all her stuff is still here at the house. she hasn't lived here for over 6 months. We were never very good at house keeping. but I want to sell the house with in a couple of years, when my son graduates from high school. How do I get her to move her stuff out. I've asked repeatedly, her excuse is she has no place to put stuff. but I know for a fact the she does. We were a very close family. It is emotional for both of us to go through all the stuff. but I don't want to be the bad guy. she left for another man."

but failed to mention she consistently has said for me to take the house, we were splitting the mortgage payments. but it was to great a finatcal burden on her. I've agreed to take the house on, but I'm consistantly over budget. I know nothing is legally set in stone, and Ive talk to my personal bank, not the morgage bank. they said my morgage bank may not be so keen on letting her go off the original margage. so maybe I've been douped into paying several months on my own. of course Ill explain that to the judge. I'm still willing to give her her half of any profit from the home. if she would just get her stuff out

last thing I did not see a way to message the original atterny back. how do I do that

The mortgage company will NOT take her name off the mortgage. The was to get her off is to refinance, if you qualify. If you are living there and she is not, and it is your goal to keep the house, you should bear the entire burden of the mortgage, But she need to get her stuff out. The telephone is a marvelous invention. The attorney's phone number is on the pleadings. If the case was filed this year the email address should be on the pleadings,
