I didn't even bother reading most of that enormous, lumpy paragraph. What made me laugh was this:
"I'm the seller along with my husband and we are divorced selling the MARTIAL home we received an offer on my home and my husband and I need to counter in speaking with my husband I counter $398,000 he was at $395."
Marital/martial (law). What a heck of a typewritten Freudian slip.
Got the gist at "martial home". Can't you choose whether to sign the contract or not?
A few years ago where I lived a couple of divorcing couples had wording in their sale contracts that "funds to be dispersed to [husband] and [wife] in this manner per [whatever...divorce agreement or whatever was signed]: 50% each or 70% to [wife] and 30% to [husband]. Haven't had the occasion to know if that's still done anywhere.

I think that's the way it still is. The divorce decree is the final word in everything. I wouldn't buy a home from a divorcing couple if it was the last home on earth, that's for sure.

I have to laugh at this statement because it is so true! We are currently buying a home from a divorced couple and it is a court ordered short sale as well. I don't know if it will end up working out in the end but we love the house and hope the couple can work things out with the banks and each other to help the sale close.
OP- cut the small loss and just get the house sold. It is hardly worth the time and effort and will likely cost much more in the end if you fight it. Good luck with your sale
The last time we had a situation like this, we told our clients to go away and figure things out with their attorneys and come back and see us when they were on the same page. They couldn't agree on anything, and we had NO interest in being their mediator. We found out they never were able to agree and from what I heard, the judge ended up setting the sales price. We didn't end up representing them, and we weren't sad about it.
I'm sure their legal fees cost more than the amount they were bickering on about the sales price of the house.
Yeah it ended with the 21 year old on the pool table friends with my daughter and his attorney saying I'm a drug addict to get 50/50 of the kids. But it didn't work I have them so this is attorney's last straw to have her friend run everything and not let me counter!!! I just think you should treat people with respect and honesty we'll I think it called KARMA that will come back to get them!!! Thanks to all!!
If his attorney get hold of this thread, he may have some additional 'evidence' to back up his claim. Sheesh.
OP: Let it go. Move on with your life. Play nice for the sake of your kids.
You also do have the option of just telling your ex your bottom line, and that you will not go below that. It's early in the spring. There will be other offers. They have to get your signature for the sale to go through.
In the meantime there are mortgage payments and taxes to pay. I wouldn't hassle over a measly $3,000. This is a control battle, nothing more. Sell for a reasonable offer and move on.
NOT the agent's problem. You and your ex should have come to an agreement ahead of time on what your lowest selling price would be. Your real estate agent is not a divorce mediator.
And please use some punctuation...I really had a hard time reading your posts.

A polite suggestion for you: please don't reactivate 2 year old threads for tiny comments and advice that more than likely was already offered by another poster in a more timely manner. . (actually, I wish we had an emoticon for smacking somebody else upside da head!)
