I am divorced and living aboard. In an agreement we will sell the house and share the money equally. The house is on sell now, but my ex-wife and her new boy friend has been living in the house since divorce. What can I do?

If in your divorce settlement you agreed to sell the house and divide the proceeds and she was allowed to stay there until such time as it was sold I would think there is nothing you can do . You could arrange for a different Real Estate agent my guess is , to expedite the sale , I am wondering if your X and her new boyfriend are not turning away new buyers in order to keep the house . Probably her boyfriend is behind that .
Its unfortunate that your living abroad but I would probably consider a quick visit and talk with the agent selling the house now , and look for a more reliable one . I am not sure how long your place has been on the market but home sales are good , so maybe there doing something to deter sales .. I would go there and get to the bottom of it , but as far as him living there , there is not a lot you can do about it other then contact your lawyer and see what you can do ..
Isn't it amazing how many people don't read the question before leaving answer's that have nothing to do with it at all ???

Didn't you put a stipulation in the divorce agreement that who ever lives in the house can not have any guests living there? Do you have a realtor working on selling the house? Maybe you should contact your attorney and see what you can do about this. Maybe he could find a way to speed the sale up. Otherwise I guess you will just have to let him live there with her. Another question for you....who is making the house payments? If you are then I would understand why you are upset about another man living there. If she is then I supposed unless it is in the agreement that she can't she is allowed to let whomever she wants live there.

I think you need to take your focus off of them. Sure it would be great to give a little pay back. However, you need to think intelligently now. So what's the smart choice, that will sell the house and move out the moocher? Is there a motivated real estate broker on tap? Or are they trying to sell it on their own. Are they purposely sabotaging the sales by keeping the place in shambles. You need to get involved with a real estate agent. Let them know what's happening. If they know you are motivated to sell, they will get you a buyer!

Pray that the house sells fast so you can get your ex-wife and her boyfriend the hell out of your house. I think that it is very disrespectful of her to bring a boyfriend to live in your house. Even if the marriaged was doomed she should have the decency to wait until things were completely settled before jumping into another relatioship.

Tell your lawyer to draw up an agreement that no one other then your ex is aloud to "live" or stay the night in the home. Seems simple enough to me, but at the same time all you really should care about is the money right?

Call a lawyer. No advice you find in here will be as good as the advice you get from a lawyer. I suspect however, that unfortunately, there is nothing you really CAN do. This is one of those hurtful things your wife is doing to make the divorce even more painful. But what goes around comes around. It usually does!

Why do anything? If the house is for sale when it sells they have to leave also its pretty hard for you to do anything while living aboard. You do need to come back when the house sells to get your personal belongings.

You and her must have a Realtor agent to sell the house, be in contact with him on a regular basis to make sure all efforts are made to sell the house. If you don`t have an agent I would suggest strongly you get one.

Get an attorney to get a court order to sell the house. Most places it must be sold within 3 months. She should also be paying you rent. Have your lawyer pursue this.
