    Default Divorce Decree Violation

    My question involves divorce in the State of: pa

    In the divorce decree, my ex got the house. She agreed to pay the mortgage payments. House is in both our names. I should have written in the decree that she had to sell the house OR refinance in her name, but my attorney didn't say anything and I didn't think about it. Anyhow, she has paid the payment over 30 days late 3 times this year alone, and my credit is ruined. I cannot afford to pay the payment and then take her back to civil court to try and get my money back. She has 15 years left to pay on the house, so she has the potential to ruin my credit for the next 15 years. I know she cannot get it refinanced in her name because her credit is really, really bad. My question...is she in voilation of the divorce decree since she isn't paying on time? and IF I would take her back to court, would they rewrite the divorce decree stating that she has a certain time to get the house out of my name or sell it so my credit isn't being ruined over her not paying on time? The divorce decree states that if she is in voilation of any part of the decree, I can take her back to court and she has to pay all my attorney fees, etc. Any help would be appreciated. I have even thought of filing bankruptcy to get this house out of my name.

    Default Re: Divorce Decree Violation

    You may be able to convince a court to order her to make timely payments, for example, and I understand your frustration, but you just got through telling us that there's nothing in the court order that's being violated by her failure to refinance or late payments. Talk to your lawyer about possible remedies.
