Re: Divorce/ Seperation Agreement
Whether you can actually sell the house will depend on the buyer. Generally however you will not be able to sell the house without your husband's participation. Even though he is not on the deed he still has an interest in the house because you are married. This means you cannot technically transfer a clear title to a buyer without your husband's signature or release or waiver or whatever. If you sell the house to someone who does not care about this, maybe a cash deal or instalment sale, your husband could potentially cause title problems for the buyer.
