Here's my story, I hope someone can help. On Christmas eve 2010 someone set fire to my back house and it was a total loss. There are two houses on my property and thankfully I live in the one that didn't burn. Now before you think wow must be a nice place, it is not. The entire both properties were valued at 21000 and now my home is only worth about 15000. The problem is my estranged husband left me without house insurance, he was supposed to pay it. The city came and demolished what was left of the house and have sent me a tax bill that includes the cost of demolishion. It's 25000! I am in an agreement with them for back taxes that the ex also did not pay. I have to keep my current taxes paid but there no way that I can pay that 25000. If I could, I certainly would. This old crooked house is all I have. I only live on SSD and a very small pension from my first husband. I am at my wits end, I can't afford to rent somewhere if they kick me out of here. I have fibromyalgia and that is what prevents me from working. I get no support from the ex and he has totally abandoned me. I tried to get a divorce through legal aid but they said they don't enough resources to help me. If anyone has any ideas on how I can save my house I would appreciate it!
