QUESTION: Dear Legal Wiz,
I am living over here in America. My husband and i bought a house back home and we both are paying mortgage. My mother in law is now a big problem. Since the day I assisted my husband to bring his mom to Florida, she has been focused on splitting us up. She literally told me I am not good enough for her son because I dont understand that all Jamaican men cheat.
All of a sudden she is telling me I needed to leave the house and my husband was siding wih her. As she was talking I realised that she didnt know I was the one spending most of the money and she did not know I funded his education.
Within a month she was also telling me that there was another woman who was sponsoring my husband. I finally believed her when he took home a sports car that he claimed belonged to his boss. All this time he was supposed to have his own business that I gave him money to start. I moved out and asked him to buy me out. He blatantly refuses even now and the lawyers in Jamaica are telling me I cant sell without him, and I cant take of his name. Is this real even if I have paid like 90 per dent of the mortgage.

There are several things that you can do such as go to court and you should consult a proper lawyer that specialises in real estate matters for this. REach out by email if you have not found one by month end.
