CAN ONLY ONE PERSON CHANGE A DIVORCE DECREE? Please help and SEE DETAIL.?
I was divorced from my wife last Friday and the next day she was arrested for dem viol against me. Our house is for sale and I had an offer on it that I know she would accept. She will not contact me back about or anything else including bills and taking now her dogs from our home that I am living in.
The judgment states she can reside here but is choosing not to which is better anyways.
We were getting along fine until the arrest and now I think she is trying to get out of the divorce judgment.
Can she? Not to get married again but I think she now has decided it isn't fair or something. I don't know but it's fishy she doesn't want to close on this house ASAP??? The judge signed off on it but is there a so called 48 hour free look or something were it can be voided???
Please help. I am talking with a lawyer Thursday but was wondering now. It has me stressing!
Thanks!!!!!

File a Petition For Emergency Appointment Of Commissioner (or whatever your state calls it).
This is a person who is empowered by the Court to sign documents on behalf of the other party, when that other party is incapacitated or unavailable, or refuses to sign documents that are required by the Decree.
I have never heard of the "48 hour" thing (unless it is particular to your state). A party generally has 30 days to appeal a decision; however, the Order is enforceable during that time (unless someone applies for AND receives a "stay" of the Order).
Make sure your realtor explains the situation to the Buyers, so that the offer doesn't expire.
