You really need a lawyer. I don't think anyone here is going to be able to help you sort this out, beyond being sympathetic. Certainly the judge will try to come up with a fair and reasonable set of orders, but you can't really go anywhere near that without an attorney unless you want to do a lot of studying on the law and try to represent yourself.

What does your settlement call for? If it calls for the money from the house to be divided, then going to court to get the settlement enforced could be good. Sounds like he doesn't want to let you go.
-
He probably can't afford another household for himself as well as maintaining the old house for you. So this is a compromise he sees as necessary. Selling the house and splitting what proceeds there might be after paying off the mortgage might leave each of you with barely enough to make a deposit on two apartments. Talk with your lawyer.

You need professional advice. I'm male and currently going through a divorce. Don't be railroaded into anything that both compromises and disempowers you; especially if you and your husband just can't talk because of the emotional "stuff" surrounding the marriage. Do you live in a no fault state?

seek for a legal help...it helps

I agree with all that have said you need to seek professional council. My parents did the "Let's get divorced but share the house" routine for a couple of years and it was a MESS (both emotionally and financially).
-
No, but it sounds like you could use a competent-good attorney and do not have one! Whoever is working with you now is not doing you any favors in my opinion from what you have said.

You might have to confront a judge on this one. Sometimes, the other person wants to continue to have complete control, and does not want you to be happy and will continue to keep you in bondage as long as you allow them. Yes you might be in court for awhile, as I was for 5 years.Finaly I had a trial in November of 2005 that ended it all of this nonsense for the moment. I believe God has everything in His hands.

Yes. this arrangement will never work and could be dangerous. if you do not have an attorney, find one. file for a divorce and the court will make him sell the house and split the proceeds. Sounds like he still wants to play house. Get your attorney and file the proper papers in divorce court.
