I am still in the process of a long drawn out, high conflict, unresolved divorce...going on 3+ years.
A 5 day Trial was set for May 2016 but has been adjourned to December 2016.
I recently attempted resolution through a third party (Fairway Divorce) The Ex agreed and made it to the first 2 appointments then decided/demanded I pay the full amount (we originally agreed to each pay half) and if I didn’t she wouldn’t continue. That was my last attempt to resolve issues before trial.
With reduced hours and rate in the oil and gas industry I am struggling to pay all expenses (including spousal and child support from a 2013 court order). I have had to use my personal line of credit and credit cards to make ends meet and pay the support payments. I am now tapped out with the joint lines of credits, legal fees, credit cards, personal lines of credit, loans I am not eligible for anymore credit. I highly doubt I will make it finically to the end of summer never mind to December.
Since the ex is unwilling to sell the matrimonial property (which she agreed to in 2014) and move on, filing for bankruptcy seem to be my only option which would force the sale of house. Sadly the equity in the house would pay off all debt but then I’m left rebuilding my credit for the next few years.
Is there any other way to force the sale of the house or a way to try and survive till Trial…? I did put in a court order to force the sale of the home at the beginning of the year but the judge said wait till trial (In May)...
Any suggestions? Thanks....
