Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Help

My ex-fiance is living in a house that the morgage is under my name. He also has a car that I have proof of me buying. He hasn't paid the morgage in 3 months. I also have several checks written to him or for him for around $21,000. We had agreed to me taking ownership of the house and car at the end of May. The morgage company contacted me stating that the house was going to go into foreclosure because of his actions. I need to know what I can do to either stop the foreclosure, delay it, and what legal actions I can take against him.

You need to speak with an experienced local attorney at once. If you cannot afford a lawyer, contact your local bar association. There are actions which must be taken to forestall a foreclosure action. You may risk forfeiting your property and rights if you do not do so.

You probably need to start an eviction proceeding against him to get possession of the house. You need to make arrangements with the mortgage company and you have other matters to take care of. I would seriously recommend speaking to a lawyer as soon as possible to start acting to protect your rights and property. I offer free consultations.
