Question

My boyfriends ex wife divorced him almost 7 years ago to marry someone else. They own the property he lives in and runs his business from currently.She keeps threatening to take him back to court to force him to sell the house to give her, her claimed amount from the sale. When in court prior he was vindicated somewhat when the agreement they had in writing stated she will get her fair share when he "was able" to sell the house. This is his only place of residence, he is now 62 years old and is not in good health. She calls every day with threats to take him to court again. Her marriage she left him for did not work out and she's desperate. She is now saying she has spoken to an attorney and she can move herself back in! I live here with him now for 2 years. How can she move in here with us? I don't think this is possible. What are our rights? Please help. Thank You

Answer

If she is a joint owner of the house she had rights, including moving to the house. Your boyfriend should either buy her out or sell the property and give her what she's entitled to.
