Your wife is in contempt. All of your concerns are valid and your credit may be at risk if you are liable on the note. Retain counsel and get this done. If she can't refinance, perhaps buy her out at the fair market value 10 years ago or force the sale. Call our office for assistance. We practice marital and real estate law.
