If my ex-wife left country but now wants to return, do I have to let her move back in?
My ex-wife left for England now wants to come back. It is in both our names in the divorce she was awarded $10,000, or sell items or the house to get the $10,000. The house is up for sale but hasn’t been sold yet. Do I legally have to let her move back into the house?

It is very difficult to give guidance with out reading the divorce settlement and order by the court. I thank you for giving me the information you thought relevant and it does help. But it is unclear if she was given the $10,000 in lieu of the hosue and you were awarded the house. Who was awarded the house or occupancy of the house is what I am asking pending the sale? If it was you then no, you do not have to let her back in. If it was not so stated then take your agreement to an attorney to get some help. Good luck.
