Court date to sell matrimonial home

Anything from a realtor is no good. It must be a proper appraisal.
Find out today's value. Ex can buy you out at that price, otherwise let the house go to market and split it.
 
Yes I do have an official appraisal. I got one done when we originally separated then an updated one a couple of years later when I thought financial disclosure was going to happen. Both were shared with her. There was a 250k difference which she already demanded to share that despite not paying any expenses and being the one to refuse to move out of the house.

I would offer to sell her the house at the lower amount or split $125,000 IF the house sells at that value and if she balks, request that the house be sold and she pays her share of occupational rent and expenses.
 
I will try that. Thanks for the advice.

I am also having trouble figuring out how it works regarding the mortgage payments. I've been solely paying off the mortgage but it's a joint mortgage. Does she get credit for that? I've single handedly also paid off about 300k

For example if the mortgage on the date of separation was 1.5 million and I paid off 300k, is this how the math looks:

2..5 million dollar sale price =
1.5 million mortgage.
1 million in equity

She gets 300k while I get 700k?
 
Im not sure. I think if you aren’t there and paid all the bills you can charge her occupational rent. That would be something to look into (do a search on the forum as it was discussed before). With respect to mortgage payments, if you made additional payments to the principle, you may be able to argue that you can request a credit.

Ultimately your best bet is to make her an offer she can’t refuse. If she is dug in on selling the house, she will shoot herself not accepting a reasonable offer.
