Hello,
I'm currently going through a divorce, and during this process I got a realtor to come out and give an analysis of the value of my home (mortgage only in my name, though it was purchased during the marriage).
The value the realtor gave was lower than what I currently owe on the home (I refinanced it when the housing prices were shooting up) due to the general state of disrepair/outdatedness.
My (soon to be ex) wife obviously did not like this, as my being upside down on the mortgage means that there is no equity, so she wouldn't get anything. Thus, she is taking the following actions:
1. Trying to get a different realtor out to do a different evaluation.
2. Trying to get a "land company" (landscaping, I think? She just called it a "land company") to come out and give an estimate on the "work she did in the yard". Basically, she made some trails in the backyard over eight years ago and believes she is entitled to compensation for that "work". She is hoping to charge me for this "work".
3. Getting her dad to come up with an estimate for all of the work that he put into the house during the marriage and charge me for that work.
Points 2 and 3 seem completely nuts to me. Is there a scenario where a judge would NOT laugh these ideas out of the courtroom?
