    Question A Complete Mess

    My question involves divorce in the State of: Tennessee

    Ok. I have been divorced for two years now. I filed for a divorce Febuary 15th, 2007. I married this guy durning the worst time in my life. I just recieved a large inheritence from my deceased parents. He only worked one week the whole time we were married. He used me so bad. Commited adultry three times during the marriage. I ended up having a non-contestant divorce. It stated in the final decree that I was to pay my ex-husband $40,000 dollars out of the profit of the sell of one of my house. The house took almost a whole year to sell. The way the economy was...there was no profit. He is now threating to take me to court. I lost out over $120,000 dollars on the sell of the house. This guy isn't entitled to anything. He didn't even contribute a dime to the finances durning the marriage, I paid for everything. I should have done this alot different, I know. If there was no profit, is he still entitled to the money? If so...Can I possibly defend myself with the fact of emotional distress and that is was my inheritence?

    What has your attorney told you about your judgement?
    What does your divorce settlement say exactly? If it says "out of the profit" and there was none, he could be up a creek. If it says "you are to pay him 40000 when you sell the house" thats a different stroy.
    You should contact your divorce lawyer or a different one to see what your options are.

    With the laws in your state why you settled for a no fault (adultry times 3) and your inheritence money to go to him is beyond me. These are arguements that should have been taken up in your divorce.

    It stats that he is entitled to $40,000 out of the profit. I spoke to the lawyer and he says there is nothing that my ex-husband could do. It was a long story. Young, dumb, and nieve was that whole issue. Its been taken care of. Thanks for the advice!
