Re: Power of Attorney
Do not sign a power of attorney for the house. You will give him all authority over the sale of the house. When you finally get an accounting, the proceeds could be gone. You cna't get blood from a turnip.
If the court has not signed the decree, then file a revocation, advising the court that you wish to revoke your agreement. He may be able to contractually bind you to the agreement, but the court will not approve it as an agreed order.
You have issues here that need to resolved with the assistance of an attorney. You should get one right away.
