My question involves a marriage in the state of: Illinois
My husband had 6 months to refinance our house. Rather than refinance, he spent 6 months trying to get a loan modification, which would not remove my name. He has told me he applied for refinancing but was rejected. I have no proof this is true.
We've now been divorced for 20 months and the house is still in both our names. The day before our divorce, he got a $30K car which was not mentioned in our decree. Had I known he was going to add new debt I would've suggested selling the home. Now he says he can't afford the mortgage, he can't get refinanced and the home is underwater and he wants a short sale. He makes $106K a year and I know he can afford the mortgage. The last payment was for March 2014 so now he's 3 months in arrears. We have a home equity line of credit that is due in full in a couple weeks (July 1, 2014). Our divorce decree states that he is has sole responsibility for the mortgages since I moved out before the divorce. He spends money going on trips, making unnecessary purchases and claims all his other bills are current. The house has been on and off the market and is now off again because he said the realtor told him the price is too high since he is asking for what is owed on the home. Now he's asking me to agree to a short sale. Will I be responsible for any debt related to the home?
I asked him if we could speak with a mediator and he said he's done with me and talking to me about the home.
What recourse do I have?
