Seller going through a divorce who is refusing to go to closing

Shelia Woods
Posted

I alerted the closing attorney and the real estate agent that I would not participate in closing due to some issues with my divorce from the co-owner/spouse. Since then, the closing attorney and the real estate agent have done everything they can to push the sale through, including not disclosing what is happening to the potential buyer. I put in writing my intent not to go through with the sale, and they have sent countless emails with threats of me being sued and using words like a breach of contract which I am familiar with the process. At this time, I feel that I am being coerced and somewhat intimidated into completing the closing. I spoke to at least three attorneys who advised that until litigation takes place, there is little I can do because the closing attorney represents me-the same person I am having issues with who wanted to disclose to the buyer information that was more personal than general. What are my rights as part owner of the property, and what can I do to address how this situation was handled?
