What the pits is that his attorney is gonna file sanctions if the house does not have a for sale sign in front of it soon. But I am the only one going to hardware store, calling repair people and contractors, painters, yard guy, roof guy, carting old stuff to dump and charity drop off and this is all the stuff that the realtor wanted done . I am doing all this work and they wanna file sanctions cause it is not listed yet. Yeah right!! I am going to keep a log of my time and expenses and try to have my attorney argue to be reimbursed for repairs, and the cost of my time out of escrow. It's just a pain because it is a large house--and there is only me doing everything so that's why it is taking longer. If he would help or at least communicate directly it would move it along faster.

Have the damn for sale sign put in front of the house then. Doesn't mean you have to allow anyone in the house until you are ready.

Yeah, just list it for the price you want with all the repairs done. Who knows, you might get lucky and it might sell anyway! :)

My attorney called and said Because stbx will not remove his hazardous waste from side of house or agree to pay for repairs or assist in getting them done and we cannot come to any agreement about it or how the house is to be listed and the realtors quit, our attorneys think the solution is to have the house sold "as is" at a loss of about 100K through a court appointed receivorship. It represents about a 50K loss to each of us but neither of us is gonna budge. I am glad that this new development is royally pissing him off though. Supposedly he is screaming and ranting at work. Very expensive to him to be stubborn. I think I may win this staring match or at least give his already high blood pressure a nice rise. I do love to ruin his day.

Went through the same thing when we were selling. He thinks his time more valuable. He always hated home stuff. I was the maid and did everything. Garage sales, decorating, painting, papering...calling and being there for contractors. He filed divorce the day we signed contract. Over $100K in equity, told me before I put on market that he would help in the marketing, move etc. but guess what?? NADA! Left me a 4300 sq ft home and 40x60 building to pack, his stuff, kids stuff, find an attorney, a place to live out of the area, and all the other worries in 5 weeks!. He moved away almost 2 years prior and now he gets half but I did all the maintenance and upkeep all while I was working too. I know one thing, I will work just like the men and only contribute my 50% next time. Won't be someone's door mat. Well, I did get him to sign a document that he pay me the 6% commission and the move. When we went to tmep hearing in April, I pulled my paper out and said What about this? Well he agreed to it, but now says his lawyer says it won't hold up in court. I hope it does. I did the work..I should get paid for it.

Hmmm....put a For Sale By Owner sign up then :-) Then you can list with a Realtor when you're ready...is there a court Document that specifies you have to list with a brokerage? If not, this might buy you some more time.

If it wasn't that you needed the money, wouldn't it be nice to sell the house for pennies like they did on The First Wives Club. That would be the ultimate payback!!!

I have a similar issue. I don't live in the house (I moved out after I felt my life was in danger). But, because he doesn't have a job, I have to pay all of the bills on the house. So, my two children and I live at my Mom's house (we share one bed). The house is up for sale, and we have an offer. But, my stbx won't accept the offer. There is no incentive for him to move (he is living there for free). Plus, he has destroyed the house. It is now appraised for $80,000 lower than when I moved out. My lawyer says the only option I have is to have the house put into receivership. Does anyone have any other ideas. I just want out!
