Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Montana
eviction
I have a house deeded in my name with the mtg. loan also in my name. As
the result of a divorce my ex-wife was allowed to stay in the house but was
required to make the payments. The loan has gone into foreclosure 4 times
but she has been able to forestall the sale of the house, sometimes in the last
hour. This is having a very detrimental effect on my credit rating and I am
once again receiving calls from the bank daily as she is 4 months behind once
again and they are ready to foreclose. What are my options in this matter?
Can I sell the home and evict her? Can I have her evicted first and then
market the home? Am I just stuck until they finally foreclose and sell the
house? Help!!!

Re: eviction
What you are going to have to do is amend your divorce decree to allow you to sell the home. Your rights in selling the home is governed by the property distribution in your divorce. As evidence, you can show that your credit rating is being affected and also show that she has not been able to make the payments.
