My exhusband is foreclosing on a house of his and his wife. I have never had my name on this house and I was served papers listed as a defendant along with others. Why am I listed and what do I do? My exhusband and I have no property together and have not for over 8 years.
Optional Information: State/Country relating to Question: Florida Already Tried: Nothing. Someone told me that I may have a judgement for child support pending and that is why. Also told me I should respond to the jugde, but what do I say?
If there is a foreclosure, that means that the house will be sold at a foreclosure auction, and the proceeds from the sale have to satisfy the liens on the house. One of the liens will obviously be the mortgage, but if you have a judgment for child support, then that judgment, if it was filed with the clerk of the county where your ex lived, then that judgment became a lien on your ex's house as well. Therefore, you have an interest in your ex's property.
Okay, so do I should I respond to the papers and tell the judge anything? I was told this is the time to say whatever I need to the judge regarding anything I feel about this and or child support?
Is there a formal way of responding to these papers that I need to follow and if so how do I know what format that is?
Who file the summons and complaint? Was it the bank? And do you already have a judgment against your ex?
Bank of America filed summons against my ex, his wife, myself, Wells Fargo, my ex's neighborhood association and any other person of interest.
I did have a judgement against him however I thought it was closed. We did do a child support modification back in June this year.
Has your judgment against your ex been satisfied? You do not need to do anything about the Bank of america's summons and complaint. You don't need to answer. Frankly, I would advise you not to worry or lose any sleep over it.
