Re: real estate questions
The answer depends on a multitude of issues, if she is suing for support for the children that is one thing, if she is suing based on her contribution or another theory for a claim against the equity in the house, that is something else.
You need an attorney and you should consult with one immediately. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

You may have options depending on the facts of the case. You should contact an attorney to determine whether the matter has merit and whether there is a chance that the lis pendens can be removed.
