[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]

You do realize that only 5% of divorce nationwide end up in litigation, right? Real estate attorneys have litigation experience and often you don’t need a litigation experience with this. You have to submit specific documents to the court and all they have to do is attach a divorce decree you don’t need a divorce attorney— you need a real estate attorney.

Also, you probably don’t realize there are plenty of people that buy homes with people who they are not married to, and when something goes bad, the other person has to be bought out: the marriage is irrelevant. There are disputes like this all the time in real estate. [/quote]
