We sold our large home quickly (with a profit thankfully) and moving to Shreveport, LA. We don't wish to buy again-at least for a couple of years. Children at school and retirement coming up fast. Any thoughts about best ways to max our 3 bedroom apt? Selling all our yard stuff and some furniture, some will also go into storage. What will we really need? One child in college and might live with us, the other is attending a private high school and would be with us for vacations. I work at home. We also have two cats. We have moved all around the country so I know the ins and outs of moving, but have never had to downsize. Each house just got bigger! Would welcome any thoughts or suggestions from anyone who has done this..........thanks!

Whats selling faster, larger or smaller homes
Have a 4 bed, 2 bath 1400 sq ft home on 5 thousand sq ft wooded lot, so i know the property taxes are more. My question is, with energy costs higher and property taxes are people looking for smaller homes with less acreage.

Home still not sold 3 1/2 years after divorce. What to do?
The diverce order says that I have to pay 1/2 the mortgage until the house sells. The X is still living in the house for now 3 1/2 years. With housing prices falling fast and they refuse to reduce the selling price on the house to make it sellable. The "X" is very un-motivated to do anything because they are living in the home for basically 1/2 price.
Is there any suggestions or legal advise available to force them to reduce the price or refinance and take it over completely.
Also, The mortage amount still owed is somewhat higher that the current value because of the bad housing market going on now.

Can my ex sue me for loss of funds in the sale of our home?
I have been divorced for 2 years and my ex husband keeps threating to sue me for the loss of funds in the court ordered salr of our home. It had been up for sale for 11 months and the price lowered every 2 weeks. My ex husband went to the courts and filed that I was not selling it fast enough. So I lowered the price one more time and got someone to purchase it for just about pay off and a little left over. My ex got all the funds to pay off the debts that we agreed on in the divorce,. Now he's mad that he didn't get any money (neither did I). I need to take him back for child support but he keeps threaten to sue me for the money if I do. Can he still sue me or not?
