Question: Taking the house off the market during the final stage of divorce?
My divorce is in the final stages, we are negotiating ( to put it lightly) on equity division for the home. It is in his name only. He refinanced after the marriage took place. When I filed in September 2008, he listed the house for 299,900.00 originally. He lowered the price, last week in response to my attorney’s letter to his attorney, to 275,000.00. This reduction was directly and clearly in response to the letter in which my attorney computed my half of the equity in which he would pay me, when it was listed at the 299,900.00. His attorney then sent a really Lowball settlement offer, with no computation to back it up, and my attorney laughed at the lowball offer. He does not want to pay me what he owes me is 50/50, and is trying to get out of the real figure, which is alot more. The amount owed on the home is 170,000.00. I just drove by the house, and the “for Sale” sign is gone, and he has taken the house off of the market. I am not sure what scam this controlling, abusive man is pulling this time.. any one have any ideas??? Can he just DO that?? Isn’t it going to be very clear what he is doing to the judge? Anybody have devious minds out there that can help me figure out what real estate scam he is doing?? My attorney is out of the office until Wednesday next week. I need some answers NOW.. or I will not sleep…I’m scared.. I live in Connecticut, and it is an all property state. Married for 6 years. Two small kids, 2 and 4.
