The husband has left already for 5 weeks and there is no sign of where and when he will come back. The wife is in need of money and the only way she can get money is from the house. She would like to know if that she can sell the house if the husband is no longer around. Would she have to speak to a lawyer or how would the proceed work? Thanks|||I would recommend speaking with a lawyer. If the house is in both of their names, then no, I don't believe she can sell it without his consent as well.
If the house is solely in her name, then she can do with it whatever she wishes and does not need the consent of her hubby.
Check with a lawyer or the courthouse just to be safe.|||First run an add in the newspaper announcing your intent for divorce and include that all debts now occured by the husband are not your responsibility. After 30 days, have your lawyer petition divorce. Take the add to the judge showing he is gone and you should then be granted a divorce. The add shows you have made attempt for contact and have given him a chance to respond. Once the divorce is final, you can then legally sell the house and keep all proceeds. Good luck.|||Well, if both names are on the deed she has an issue and I do believe technically even if one name is on the deed you do need both to sell. Get a lawyer and prepare for a fight.
