Not me.
Buddy’s wife is an unrepentant alcoholic. He is maintaining custody of their two children and living in the home, she has moved into an apt. She was the primary breadwinner but he also works.
House deed and mortgage are in her name alone. Neither party is paying the mortgage. He’s been getting lots of mail from the mortgage holder (Wells), but passes it to her unopened. He is paying all the utilities.
He thinks that if he pays the mortgage that he’s basically setting the cash on fire, but more importantly, he can’t afford the payment. He has no idea what the foreclosure process is, where they are in it (having missed 4 payments) and if there is anything he can or should do to keep from loosing the house. Also no idea if she’s borrowed more against the house to create marital liabilities.
His attorney has been paid, and has a retainer, but has not responded to him for 3-4 weeks.
Anyone have experience with this sort of situation? Thoughts beyond the obvious suggestion to find a new attorney?
