Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

Re: Ex husband's right to sue for property he gave up in divorce

If the divorce decree gives you the property, the divorce decree is binding. If his credit is getting hurt by you not making the payment on the underlying mortgage, he could seek relief through the same judge who presided over the divorce. His divorce attorney should have taken this into account and insisted that you refinance the property after the divorce or added provisions in the divorce decree addressing non-payment of the mortgage.

Re: Ex husband's right to sue for property he gave up in divorce

Your ex can't take your property, but you should probably have the mortgage in your name alone. If you can't qualify alone, what does the divorce judgment say? If he signed a quit claim deed, he has no more interest in the real property. I can't tell you how that affects the mortgage without reading the divorce judgment or otherwise knowing what your agreement about the mortgage is. You need to show it to an attorney for interpretation. Can you call your divorce attorney?

Good luck
