When we sold our townhouse in NOLA, realtors told us to sell in Spring because in summer, people looking to buy are in miserable moods because of looking at houses in heat and humidity and general misery.

She doesn't have much wiggle room left and the sell by date is closing fast.

Can she be sure that this is a valid offer and not from one of his buddies who will disappear before closing?

No, but someone who is dealing with a distressed sale might.

When you have seller motivated scenario, such as the details you provided, you can’t really compare to normal transactions.

Does she have 40k to just give to her ex-husband? Or 40k in assets that she can agree to let him have so that he can still come out with his 40k while she keeps the house?

He gets $40,000 regardless of profit made on the sale so he doesn't care how much she makes.


So 40k makes him go away? Why not come up with the 40k, not sell the house and tell him to kick rocks?

She's trying to have the divorce decree amended to allow her to keep the house.

They bought the house during the pandemic so her interest rate is really low.

Ex-husband handled all of their finances and he had an affair.

He didn't pay the mortgage, car notes, utility bills, credit cards, etc., for months so he could stockpile money to move across the country to be with his mistress.

He drove her credit score down to the low 400s due to his deception. She can't afford to buy a new place with interest rates being what they are right now.

He not only abandoned his wife, but their 2-year old daughter and 4 pets as well.

He supposedly lost his job in New Jersey so he hasn't paid child support in several months.


Somewhere in all this he is in breach of the divorce orders, not paying support would be one of them. With her credit destroyed she won't be owning another home for at least a decade. If she wants to keep the house she should contest the decree. Guy sounds like a lazy POS that is long gone. How's he going to sell it out from under her if he's not around?

Get this in front of a judge ASAP. I could see one being very, very sympathetic. Source, my wife was a divorce attorney that still works in family court. She sees this crap every day. Judges are human too.

ETA - with her credit, not only could she not buy a new home but renting anything decent is going to be difficult. She's looking at homelessness with a young child that has been abandoned by her POS ex. A decent judge is not going to cause a homeless situation for a child. She's going to have to find some other way to pay off the equity she owes though.
