Unfortunately, I am still part owner of the house that my ex and I bought years and years ago. He will not or cannot refinance to get my name off of the mortgage (his credit is rock bottom), and he has let the house get into such bad condition that it's not sellable. So, because he stopped making payments on the house back in DECEMBER, the house is in foreclosure, and yoo-hoo, guess who got served?? ME! He owes me almost $20,000 in equity, but that's not getting paid either. I will likely never see any of that money, and I don't really care about it at this point. I just want out!!! So, he is trying to reinstate the mortgage, and I refuse to sign the paperwork!! I will not sign my name to documents stating that he will keep the payments current when I know that in six months, he will be right back into the same situation. I've even told him that he should let the bank foreclose, but he won't hear of it. "I don't want to be a failure," he says. Too late! Well, he's not paying me the equity, he's not paying the mortgage company, his vehicle got repossessed and he's trying to get that back, he's not even paying his own attorney. Where is his money going?? He does pay me child support, but the only reason he does that is because the judge signed a court order allowing me to take it straight out of his paycheck. Otherwise I wouldn't see a dime. But yet he makes sure he still has his cable TV and internet. Priorities??

So, today, I had to go to a hearing in order to protect myself if the house should foreclose. Of course, he didn't show up. He told his attorney that he didn't know about it, and his attorney asked him "Well, didn't you get my letter?" Well, no, because he doesn't open his mail! I have now been named as another lienholder on it, even though I am partial owner to the house (??). Even his own attorney is a lienholder, and I cannot understand why he is still representing this loser.

I'm so sick of dealing with his problems. Why am I the only one stressing about all of this? Why doesn't he just grow up, be a man, and pay his bills!! ARRRGGGGG!!!!

Sorry, just venting!
