My question involves a marriage in the state of: Maryland
I have a signed and notarized Separation agreement on file with the Court in Maryland, whereas my ex-husband agreed to pay support from the date of separation until two years past the date of divorce. In addition to paying me a weekly fixed amount, he also agreed to help repair the property to be sold and give me my share of back-pay from his employer. This was 12/19/08 and as early as 2/20/09, he was withholding funds and as of 7/1/09, ceased making all payments.
He left me with an enourmous amount of debt, including a heavily mortgaged house and credit card debt in my name. Since our separation/divorce, he has lost his job and defaulted on all his credit cards. He is a deadbeat in all sense of the word.
1) Can any of his creditors put a lien on the house? His name is still on the mortgage since I was unable to afford to refinance the heavily indebted property on my own.
2) Can he force a sale on the house?
3) If he files bankruptcy, how will it effect the house?
I am contemplating a "pro se" lawsuit for breach of contract against him. While I have had the loan modified under the Making Home Affordable Program and can now pay on my own, I want the monies owed me.
