[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why everyone is saying to get a real estate attorney. This guy is in breach of the divorce order. [/quote]

Divorce attorney is the one, presumably, who failed to protect her interests in the first place by not getting her name off the mortgage in the beginning. Also, real estate attorney will be more familiar with real estate sale and terms but also know how to enter sale as part of divorce decree settlement.

Often a divorce attorney doesn’t know squat about the mechanics of court ordered real state sale. You need an attorney who can make sure all aspects of the sale go through.

A real estate attorney generally doesn’t have much litigation experience but I guess if OP finds one who has experience enforcing divorce decrees, sure. But as a lawyer I would seek out the type of lawyer who specializes in the jurisdiction and type of legal instrument, which in this case is divorce. [/quote]

Lots of real estate attorneys have litigation experience.  Real estate deals go bad and end up in court all the time.  It doesn't matter whether you in court because of a contract dispute or a failure to comply with a court ordered aspect of the divorce.  Most lawyers would know how to get into court on either count.  But the real estate attorney is going to know the mechanics of forcing a real estate sale.[/quote]
