My wife is having an affair and wants a divorce. We are seriously in debt and she doesn’t want to sell the house to liquidate. She wants it and wants to give me *,*.* that she says she got a loan for. We’ve been in the house less than 2 years and I think I was played to get the house. I maxed out credit cards and got a loan from my parents. The house was uninhabitable, so we totally gutted it down to the studs and went into debt to rehab it. It is owner financed.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. Could you please let me know the location of your residence? This will help me provide more accurate legal information.
