Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Advice on mortgage/credit issue? - I bought a house with an ex a couple years ago who still pays part of the mortgage but doesn't live in the home with me anymore. I lost my job and having trouble finding work. I've run out of savings. i put all of the down payment from my retirement and took all of the financial risk. On top of that consistently paid 55 to 60% of the monthly payments for two years because I was the one who made more money. Now I am barely making ends meet and having some looming tax debt. The least I can do is hang on to the house as investment after hopefully riding out this bad economy one day. My ex had been unemployed for a long time and now that he has a job (and living rent free with family) is saying he would prefer to sell the house instead of working with me even though I fully supported him while he was unemployed. We both have good credit and don't want to ruin it. But I feel like I'll be damned if I am going to lose my investment and my place to live. If I don't find a job soon, I am starting to wonder if I might consider bankruptcy. How would this affect my ex? We were never married but are both on the title/deed of the home.
(*also, right now the value of the home is just slightly less than what is owed on it) -
