My soon to be ex and I have been married 17 years. He has been incarcerated for almost a year awaiting sentencing and will most likely die in prison. He owned two properties before we were married, but a few years ago we took out a second mortgage on the property we lived in. We still owe on this property. I was lead to believe that he would lose all his income, and I knew I couldn't afford to stay. I ended up moving in with a friend. My soon to be ex gave POA to his daughter and she changed the locks on the house and put both properties up for sale. I need a place to go, I read that I can legally go back to my home where I lived for the last 18 years. What will I need to make that happen? The soon to be ex did lose his social security, but he still receives his pension and income from rent of the other property. He uses those incomes to pay the two mortgages. Should he die, I will receive his pension, but not the rent unless he dies without a will. Any help will be appreciated, thanks,
