Opening Arguments
The husband's attorney explains that the ex-wife's failure to refinance the marital home, as stipulated in the divorce agreement, is negatively impacting the husband's credit and financial well-being. The attorney emphasizes that the ex-wife's actions are within her control and requests the court to set a deadline for the refinancing. The attorney also points out inaccuracies in the ex-wife's response to the motion, including details about who had an affair. The core issue is the lack of progress on the refinancing, despite the divorce being finalized over two years ago.
Lack of Definite Timeline
The judge asks the ex-wife's attorney for a specific date by which the refinancing will be completed, but the attorney is unable to provide one. The judge expresses impatience with the lack of a timeline and states that the court cannot wait indefinitely for the ex-wife to qualify for refinancing.
Court Order
Due to the absence of a definite timeline for refinancing, the judge orders that the house be listed for sale immediately and sold within 14 days. The judge clarifies that if the ex-wife manages to refinance in the meantime, the court will reconsider the order. The ex-wife's attorney requests more time due to the holidays, but the judge denies the request, stating that she has had sufficient time already. The judge instructs the ex-wife to provide the listing agreement.
