Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
I am in the process of a divorce and my ex and I own a house together. We had agreed to sale the house. Well today I received a certified letter saying that his new girlfriend is moving into my residence with him. He is claiming that he does not have to buy my share of the house that I have to just give it to him and he'll refinance it to get my name removed from the loan. Well I don't agree with this. I lived there for three years and feel I should be compensated for the amount of money I've invested into the house.

If teh issue of spousal support has not been adressed, then you or yrou attorney should send a lcertified letter back to your husband demanding one half teh fair market rent from the girlfreind. and him. Hopefully, your attorney is addressing the issue of support for you until the house is sold. If not, and they will not pay you the half rent until it is refinancied, then you shodu get an agreement from your husband to hold you harmless, from the mortgage lender should he miss any payments.
Good luck
