Question 89
What if I want to leave the house to a child under 18 years old after the divorce, is it possible?
It is possible. In this case, the court will require one party to hold the house on behalf of the child and transfer the house to the child after they reach 18 years old.
Question 91
The court ordered both parties to jointly pay the housing loan, but my husband refuses to pay. Do I still need to pay? How can I resolve this?
You can take legal action against him for contempt of court. In serious cases, he may face imprisonment.
Question 92
The house is jointly owned by my husband and me. If we want to sell it, must both parties sign?
You can express this concern to your lawyer and request them to apply in court for an order stating that if the other party refuses to sign the necessary documents to sell the house, the court has the authority to sign the documents on their behalf.
Question 93
The court ordered both parties to jointly pay the housing loan until it is fully settled and then transfer the house to me. However, I am afraid he might renege and refuse to sign the transfer documents at that time. How can I avoid this situation?
If you are worried, both parties can put up a sum of money first to pay off the house loan.
