HELP/NEARLY HOMELESS! Separated for nearly 3 yrs coming 4/12. When both of us were legally represented, judge ordered family home be put up for sale (me and my 2 girls live. He lives in our fully-paid-for rental across town) She also stated that I would get immediate cash to find other housing.
Since then, both our attorneys left because of lack of ability to pay, the house is nearly sold (contingency) and seems we will have to move the end of January. Without anyone representing me (or him), I have no idea how to enforce the immediate cash or how to split the sale of the house. There is NO settlement and he's been unwilling to flex on any kind of settlement.
Much more story, but how do I go about getting back into court for the judge to settle this mess I'm in now?
