How can I force my ex-partner to sign the deed of division of the property at the notary?

Questioner

I recently got divorced. We had a house and agreed that I would take over the mortgage and stay in the house with the children. My ex has had another house since August. Now I have a mortgage and I can pass on January 22, only my ex refuses to sign at the notary and comes with all kinds of demands. In the covenant all agreements are made about the house

Lawyer

In your situation, your ex-partner should cooperate to fulfill the agreements in the covenant. Since he/she refuses to cooperate in the division of the house, you can consider legal action. You can think of the following: 1. First, you could try to get a mediator or mediator involved. Sometimes a third party can help de-escalate the situation and ensure that both parties adhere to the agreement. 2. If mediation is not an option or does not work, you may consider hiring a lawyer or other legal assistance. They can advise you on the steps you can take to oblige your ex-partner to cooperate in the implementation of the agreement. 3. If your ex-partner still refuses to cooperate, it may be necessary to start legal proceedings. In these proceedings, the judge can rule that your ex-partner is obliged to cooperate in the implementation of the agreement, and possibly impose a penalty. In any case, get good information from a legal expert so that you are sure that you are taking the right steps. Please note, this is only general advice. For your specific situation, it may be best to contact a lawyer or a legal expert. ---------------- Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
