Thanks, T and OwnIt. I feel unflatteringly needy right now and the support means a great deal.
OwnIt, it is seeking a judge to order the sale of the property and to rule on how to divide proceeds.
We own it 50/50 per the deed. He made the downpayment; I made the monthly payments. Because his breakdown came ~5 months into owning it, he contributed much more than me, though it would have evened out had he not needed to end everything, immediately, out of nowhere.
He has been sending paltry offers (one where I got nothing, one where I got a diminishing percentage based on how long it took to sell, and one where they were giving me a whole 5k.) He and his attorney then seemed to be waiting for me to write up offers, which rubbed me the wrong way in the circumstances. I wasn't going to stand in his way, but I wasn't going to pay to solve the issue he created and sell a house I never wanted to sell.
In the summons, it lists the amount I paid into the home. None of his offers came close, so I'm hoping we can make something of that. Unreasonable offers and then escalating it to court? I will definitely ask for my attorney's fees covered.
Unfortunately I got the notice of the summons around 4:45pm here, and by the time I'd called my lawyer, he was gone for the day. I haven't been able to speak with him about what is admissible, but I do have various things on the hostile environment/emotional distress front.
Like T's H, he is doing all of this to me when I am working full-time and in full-time graduate school earning a terminal degree. And I'm struggling with motivation right when I get to the part where I have to be self-motivated to finish.

Thank you. I am having one of those days when I don't feel that way.
