Can my ex-wife still sue me for property even if we have been divorced for almost 3 years??
Anonymous5 views4 answers
my ex-wife and my divoriced finalized on dec of 2007. During the divorce she was suing my mom and I for the property that her and i were living in (we're married less than 1 year). The property was purchased 2 years before we got married and I only own 1% of the property (the % was changed right before i got married). She stated that i had told her and her parents that I bought that place for us so that her parents will allow us to marry which is not true. So now, i tried to remove the lein only for her to respond that she wants me to sell the property because she owns 1/2 of it. Is it even possible for her to do so? Can the judge force me to sell the property even if I only have 1% ownership? She's taking my mom and I to court. Any help would be greatly apprecaited

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing whether this issue was raised during your divorce and if so what the outcome was during it.

If the court found that there was a community property interest in the house, and that community property interest was not mentioned in the division of the other assets and obligations,it remains "unadjudicated", and the court MAY have jurisdiction to order that SOMETHING happen.
A lot will depend on what happened BEFORE the judgment and IN the judgment in the dissolution (divorce). If your ex is "taking you to court", then you should review whatever documents you've now rec3eived with an experienced family law attorney immediately.

You, and your mom, need an attorney. If she is suing you, which you say she is, then you must respond and protect your rights. You have not given much information here. Is she suing you in family court? Mom is also being sued, in family court? There are too many unanswered questions here. See an attorney.
Best of luck to you.
