Husband wants to sell my house. I'll be homeless.?

hes probably going to want a divorce but don't give it to him until your guaranteed SOMETHING. It could be the house or alimony. You should use any money that you have to take legal action. He can't legally do all that stuff to you, especially selling the house without your permission. Make him regret what he did.

Unless you signed a prenup before you married him, half of the house is yours. Tell the s.o.b. that if he sells the house from under you, that you'll never give him a divorce. His girlfriend won't be too happy about that.

I cannot believe he'll try to throw you out on the street. Don't divorce him, try to get free legal advice and ask what you're entitled to. Only give him a divorce if it's a sure thing that you'll get monies from him for the house an alimony. Otherwise let the prick be in marital purgatory for the rest of his life.

Sorry you're going through this. That really sucks.

Go to www.craigslist.com and find the city and state you live in. Then look under "housing wanted" and there should be a list of rooms for rent in your area. Renting a room is a lot cheaper than renting an apartment. Some rooms include utilities and you get to use the laundry and common areas of the house but you pay for your own food.

That would probably be best for you. I wish you the best. I feel really bad for you.

Any sales below market value will be dealt with by the authorities as your dad intentionally depriving himself of capital. This means that if dad needs a care home, the council won't pay for it because they will work on the basis that he should still have the house to sell, or the full proceeds from it. I know you think the house should/will come to you, but that isn't necessarily the case. Some elderly people sell their house to fund a round-the-world cruise, some people sell their house to fund care-fees, and some people are able to leave their house to their children. But is isn't a right.

"I found a job and learned to live without him in my life. He continued to pay the mortgage since he makes a lot more than I do"

that statement sort of cancels one another out. You have a job, and learned to live without him BUT he pays your mortgage on where you live. So you live rent free? where is all your money going? youre not living without him, youre actually living off of him

Find a one bedroom apt, or a studio.

Its his place to sell and if you were smart you would have had an exit plan a long time ago! Also dont find some other guy to pay your way in this world, try it on your own for awhile. its liberating.

Speak with a lawyer. Your husband abandoned you and I am pretty sure that by law you are entitled to that house. If you present an abandonment case to the judge chances are, you husband will be court ordered to either allow you to keep the house, or the house will have to be sold and you will get half the money.

Also, the fact that he has a girlfriend while you two are stikll married counts as adultery, if an adultery case is presented it could happen that even the girlfriend will have to pay alimony.

He messed up big when he decided to abandon you. He probably should have thought that through,.

a house/home has been how poor people save for retirement (rent vs mortgage) was for some the only way they could save not working or making enough for a 401K to be an option.

They sold their homes and some went RVing others bought a trailer in a trailer park, now they are called manufactured homes the trailers are deemed to not hold value.

So your finding yourself where many couple have found, perhaps selling it but moving to a cheaper place.

I truely feel for you, your husband is looking out for himself and I think you should do the same. There are a lot of people here who give very good advice and suggestions, but in your case I suggest you seek a professional. I know your financial situation is very tight, but you need to consult with an attorney. Your situation is not hopeless and you have rights, you just need to contact a professional who can give you the best advice. I'll be pulling for you.

I don't think that this is even legal! I'm so sorry, that is terrible...

I think that you may be able to take this to court, but I don't know how it works... you could try to sell somethings. He can't kick you out. That is cruel. Tell him that it is your house, and you are still married. Sorry, I can't help much, but I hope that you are okay, I'll pray for you tonight... maybe you could ask your workplace. I hope this has helped...

My suggestion, divorce him. In the divorce settlement, you'll get the funding you need to put a roof over your head.

I understand why you feel upset and it's very hard. But at the same time, you're responsible for you, not him. Life doesn't HAVE TO be fair or work, you need to make it happen. He's obviously not coming back so file for divorce.

If you were a decent negotiator you would tell him if he paid for you to go to night classes that would qualify you for a promotion and give you enough to cover your rent for the time it takes to complete your schooling that you'd be happy to cooperate.

In the mean time ask your boss what types of training would qualify you for a promotion and raise.
