um, context much? what happened here, was it a bad split? cuz, selling a house out from under an ex and kids sounds harsh without the details. i hope there was at least a convo about it first??

Lemme guess – came here looking for validation, but chickened out and deleted the sob story when people didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. Srsly, who even does that to their own kids??

I feel there's always two sides to a story. Maybe there was a good reason for the sale, like financial issues? Could this actually benefit the kids in the long run? We really need more info. Hope everyone involved is finding support and not just conflict.

From a real estate POV, markets are crazy rn, so maybe you got a good deal? Still, that’s low if the fam had no warning. Not illegal but definitely cold. Did they even have time to pack? Did they get any of the profits for a new place? So many questions...

Oh, we got another runner, eh? Sells the house, kicks out the kids, and what, bounces to the Bahamas? Nothing screams 'I care' quite like forced eviction. Real nice.

Being a single mom myself, this hits close. I've seen friends forced to move coz their ex sold the house outta spite. It ain't just a legal issue, it's about being human. Those kids need stability. Are they supposed to just switch schools, leave friends, 'cause someone can't handle their past? Hope there was a good reason. Morally speaking, we gotta do better, folks.

Classic move, makin' big waves but no info. Serious dude, why's the post deleted? What's the backstory, or is this just drama llamas? Can't say if ur the baddie or not without the deeds.

Family law attorney here.

It's difficult to make a judgment without context, but generally speaking, if your name is on the deed and there are no legal obligations or court orders preventing you from selling the property, you have the right to do so. However, if your ex and children reside there, there are ethical and potentially legal considerations to take into account, particularly when it comes to the welfare of the kids.

Often, temporary orders or divorce decrees will address housing arrangements, and selling a marital home can be complicated by such agreements. They are put in place to ensure that the rights of both parties and any dependents are protected.

If you've been awarded the property in a divorce settlement, this doesn't absolve you from moral considerations. Ideally, the sale of the house should be discussed with your ex-partner, especially since it directly affects the living situation of your children.

Practically speaking, it's a good idea to negotiate a plan that allows your ex-partner time to find suitable housing and to ensure that your children's lives are disrupted as little as possible. Putting children's needs first is not only a legal expectation but an ethical one as well.

Ultimately, while the law may allow you to sell the house, navigating the emotional and practical implications requires sensitivity and care. In cases where both parties cannot come to a mutual agreement, mediation might be a beneficial step.

Nevertheless, every situation is unique, and this is not legal advice. Therefore, I recommend speaking with a lawyer who specializes in family law in your area for guidance specific to your circumstances.
