Post Divorce Property Dispute

Well, it seems my legal trouble are complex, but hopefully that it's not complex for you.It involves a house that is from a divorce that divorce decrease that I gained control of an exclusive possession of and I take care of all the bills and the insurance and everything but my ex and I share fifty equity

Well, there is a sort of dispute so I sold the house and when I went to pay her her *% of the equity, she claimed that her name was supposed to be on the title and that I had forged something and then I told me I had to talk to her lawyer when I didn't. Even go to the county courthouse my entire life. I could not afford anything. Their records show that she quit claimed the house to me.

So as far as you know if she signed a quick claim deed and all of the county courthouse records show that then that would be heard losing her fifty percent equity

As of this date, she has not made any claims legally that about the title. She is only claimed that I refuse to pay her her half of the equity. And even though I understand it as quickly as I don't have to pay her. I went to try and pay her anyway. Half of her equity and she said talk to my lawyers, and then the lawyers tried to serve me at the house that was sold. They tried to keep me from being served or tell me anything about the court case as long as they could and when I finally found out I got a lawyer, my lawyer talked to her lawyer and they wanted all of the money and pictures of my bank account so they were. Fusing let me pay them

So getting served was in January. That's many months ago and they tried to serve me twice at the house. That was sold. So I sold the house in September at the end. And next day I went and told her in her new husband and then they said they after they exploded at me. They said to talk to their lawyer and they would have their lawyer. Call me and I'm going over. There, picking up my son all the time. They're talking to me. I'm just waiting for the t. Wrecked it to happen like them to tell me and then eventually in January. My that serving papers go to my mom's house where they know.I'm living this whole time.They knew by phone number.They knew where I was living cause.I take our son there and then finally I find out about it like a week before the trial

So as soon as I get a lawyer , her lawyers cancel the court date

So, then I have a lawyer and they say that they want all of the money from the cell, into her lawyers account plus pictures in my bank account and I in the in the divorce decree, it says fifty-fifty equity and then she quickly mounts to me so I don't I as far as I understand it, I don't have to give her anything, but I'm trying to give her half but she's only saying they want all of it and I'm, they're not letting me pay her half. And also I found out that she hid Walmart stocks from the divorce court and so I told her Hey, if you subtract those Walmart stocks from what is part of the equity, we won't have to go to court with that and that's be what I pay you and then they said.No to that even though she admitted to having the walmart stocks to my lawyer through her lawyer

So her claim to me was that she thinks I forged something to take her name off of the deed, but I didn't what happened was when she went and filed the divorce decree. She, I guess I don't know how it happened because I wasn't there, but they filed her divorce degree as a quick claim and then quit claiming went on the name for it on the court document. It went on all of the other documents like when there was a an inspection of the house and it showed chain custody, it said that she quit claimed it to me on that channel question to be used to the word quit claim so also, she would no longer talk to me at this point. In the months before I sold the house so. There, as far as I knew she quick named the house to me and I was acting legally and still right now.The divorce decree is still entered into the courts as a decree.At this time , they changed it , but that was only recent

Also, if we dialed this back to September last year when she said I'd have to talk to her lawyer, they never contacted me. They'd never had my phone ever. Then never called me. Then they were sent anything to my house. They sent things to my ex. Lawyer who they knew wasn't my lawyer. And they sent things to the house that I sold the house that this is all about. They sent somebody there to serve me at the house. They knew full well. I wasn't there and they were trying to hide it from me. That there was any kind of court case and I found out about it. I think that's rude and wrong and also they never they went straight to the court. They didn't try to contact me to ask for the amount of money or anything. I was waiting on them to call me. I didn't have her lawyer's number. She. God mine. And it's very strange that they get just go straight to the court and file a contempt of court charges when they have any even tried to ask for money

Well, allegations of forgery are what she said at the beginning last September, but since then it's been made clear that there was no forgery, not by me. Anyway, because it was the county courthouse that filed the divorce decree as a quick claim. So that's not the mean thing I have to worry about. And they've made no accusations of that to the court. All they said is they want contempt of court because saying that I refused to pay her half, but I don't refuse I would have paid her half, but they only ask for all of it and then I'm not really obligated to pay her anything so I don't understand how they can file that. Court case like that. And it just seems a little strange and plus I had a title company that went over the title before I sold it and they said it was good.I was acting legally by all the information that I had

So then it gets really weird so they eventually and a January February March, April may June and June. They agree to let me pay her half of the equity and I'm like good, but they say that her stocks have to be not part of anything it which is fine. I can just ask for those later. But they say then that the stocks had to be a part of her, letting me pay her half of the equity and I was so ready to be done with it. I was like OK but then I find out that the lawyer I had dropped out. Saying that I wasn't answering my calls and I was stopping defending myself but that was not true.He didn't never call me and then never try to reach out to me.He just simply went to the court and file.A paper saying that, I had stopped answering my phone and said that then also said that since there's no court date pending, he can drop out and also said that I knew of it, and I agreed with him, but if I wasn't responding to him, how would I know it of it and agree with?Him

So then he drops out on the sixth and sends a paper that arrives at the courthouse on the ninth and on the ninth. My ex's lawyer's file contempt of court charges immediately again. Without ever trying to talk to me or anything you know we had reached a deal. I thought and then my lawyer dropped out and may file a contempt of court again as soon as he drops out and then on the 10th. The judge looks at it and agrees my ex. To my explorers and ask to leave seeing as how I have. I know about it. And I have agreed with his terms which is in true and seeing as how there is no pending court date. But then the judge immediately. Spiles a pending court date for my ex's lawyers on that same day.So the the hill him asking to leave says the 10th and the new court date is the 10th and it says in him asking to leave.There's no pending court dates and then they don't notify me of this at all

So then I call her lawyer. I just want to go ahead and pay cause now. It's been almost a year and I'm and I call her lawyer and her lawyer says, oh no deal you have to pay * + $* interest, because you've held her money this whole time and I'm like you wouldn't let me give it to you, I wasn't holding it, how can you refuse payment and then say I get charged interest for all that and he's like, nope you have to do that and write a check and bring it here and I was like I thought I needed a money order and he's like, no, we want to check and I'm not, I don't, I'm not going to pay him more than half, so, but I'm sitting there. And then you know I'm holding my phone and he says Goodbye, but he doesn't hang up properly.And then I get to hear about twenty five minutes of him talking

Well, let me get this up to current and then see what you think about it. So I listen in he get, he says to his other lawyer in the room that I'm a dumb ass and all this other stuff, and then they call my ex on speakerphone, and he tells her that I'm going to pay $*, which is * more than my half and she sounds confused, but she says okay. And then she he asks if she's gonna want to charge me her legal fees and she says no, and then he says good. Now we can get on to the big thing. And then the other lawyer in the room like I'm overhearing this. They think I'm not on the phone. The other lawyer in the room says. What's the big thing? And he says the title company and they say oh yeah, the lawsuit against the title company. And I listen to him discuss the plan that they have to soothe the title company after I pay her

Yeah, OK, I'm almost done so then I start looking for a lawyer and they set the court date so soon that I wasn't able to find one but I was able to write up my own. Ask to send in to the courts to ask him to move it back. But they didn't do that. They did get the documents and they didn't move it back because from the courthouse's point of view, it looks like they filed a court case against me and then dropped it after I got a lawyer and then my lawyer dropped out and they filed another court case against me and now I have ice and now I'm going to court a few days ago and I didn't have a lawyer at all and so. They set a day on the 21st.That is a trial

I would love to be connected with the lawyer.I tried to connect with so many people.And they never could call me back or they didn't want to hear much of the story like I tried to tell him a little bit.All they care about is what's in the court.Document which isn't very much.Okay.So my number is *

Can I ask you some questions I have about some of the things that surround this case

I was saying. I went to court without a lawyer. And the judge had the other had my ex. Wife's lawyer go out in the hall to talk to me about whether I wanted a jury trial or a non-jury trial and but he never talked about that all I did was tell me that I need to pay immediately and that I was a thief, I stole her money from her and that I was going. To jail for 6 months and there's an end. All the stuff and did not talk about the other thing. You just basically called me a thief and told me that the title company told him that I gave them a faulty title when that's not what they told me. I called them the day before and they said that the title was just fine.

Well. Okay, a legal question is, would I have?How can they say that I?Refuse to pay when I have all the information from them to my lawyer.Before he dropped out, they were only asking for all of it or more.And how is it that they can just file contempt of court charges against me before ever , giving me a chance to pay them

What made the lawyer stop talking to me out in the hall and step back was he was going on calling me a thief and steph saying I stole her money and I said but she quit claimed the house to me and he said that's that that doesn't matter and that her name should have been on the title and all this stuff and ISO I totally mean that I knew he was going to sue the title company and like That they were just using me basically to make a case to go after the title company.And how could you say that I owe anything when I quit claiming that when she quit cleaning the house to me and he said that's not what that means and that she still had was owed her equity even though it was quick claimed

Right like that. That seems insane that I can't rely on the courts to tell me that whether or not it's quick claimed and whether or not I owe her money directly so I can get charged with contempt of court when the people don't even know if I owe her money for real or not even though. I'm willing to pay her right and at this point I'm not willing to pay her because of what she's been up doing and what's been going on. Basically hiding stocks for me and then lying about a lot of stuff to the lawyers. And she's been doing bad things and so it seems to me like I should be able to get a straight answer. And so I asked the her lawyer, I said. Well, if she quickly claimed the house to me and she still owed equity, what would have happened if I quit claimed the house to her, and he said, oh, then you would lose all any and all interest in the house.And I was like , but we're fifty fifty equity , and then he got mad that didn't want to talk to me anymore

So this brings up a hypothetical situation that I just want to ask you about and see what you think. So if I had a divorce decree, is that I had fifty-fifty equity with my ex-wife and then the and then I quit claimed my house to some random person and said Hey, here's a house and then that guy took the house and fixed it up. And got it beat to be very expensive and then sold it that if the rules are like they say they are then my ex and I could come along and say Hey, thanks for fixing up our house and selling it now. We share fifty-fifty equity in this house, so you'd better give us the money from now. The sell

For the? Large part.I was just interested in the equity of a house and quit claim deeds because it seems like nothing should be able to defeat the quick claim.That's the story of it and why it works is that you can rely on the fact that that person has essentially given up any claim to anything on the house

Given that would i be reasonable for me to say i didnt belive i was violating any divorce decree order because of the quick claim and once a court or judge declares that the quick claim is that to affect the equity.And then I pay and I think that seems fair and just but nobody has ordered that in any court yet they just simply said I refused to pay her

Right, I think it's just unfair. I'm being accused of refusing to pay but if I wanted to refuse to pay, I wouldn't have gone to her house on the day after I sold the house and told her about it and tried to pay her and so and even believing at the time that I wasn't responsible for doing so I didn't wasn't required to pay her, but I still tried, and it's been going on all this time and to say that I'm in contempt of court, and they're going to put me in jail for 6 months, because of all this, when it was never clear that I was supposed to pay, it just seems ridiculous.

her lawyer was telling me that I stoled her money and I said to him, I didn't steal it. I just haven't paid her yet. There's nothing actually an enforced decree that says when I pay her. It just says, we share fifty-fifty equity. Now. Of course, I would imagine that when the house sells that's when you would pay the person but that's not necessarily clearly stated there and it is like if I she says afterwards, she says afterwards she said she didn't want me to sell the house and she should have been able to tell me. Not to, but that's not what the county courthouse says. And if she's saying she didn't want me to sell the house, then if I hadn't sold the house, she wouldn't be getting any equity.So she can't be saying that I'm keeping the money from her if she didn't want to have it.She wanted to back in the house.And if I'm having to pay interest on it, she's actually way better off if she's getting *% interest on it.And so it went from a non-interest bearing equity number to a *%

Well, I was hoping to get more clear answers about some of these things, but I guess they're pretty complicated and if you're gonna hook me up with a lawyer.As previously stated that would be amazing i'm gonna continue trying to find some of my own because I can't just wait and take the chance
