Re: regarding home owned by me and ex-husband

If your ex-husband put the home in both his second wife's name and his as tenants by the entireties, then she owns the home and can do with it as she wishes.

If his parents sold the home on condition they be able to stay as long as they wished, then they may have grounds to challenge their eviction.

Without more information, it is impossible to know what to tell you. Please feel free to contact me without obligation.
