The HOA help my ex steal my future

I lived in an hoa community and paid the dues during my contentious divorce. I was supposed to get the house. The HOA sued me twice for dying grass. The first time, I spent $5500 on new landscaping. There was no fine. I wasn’t getting support from my ex despite court orders. I used LEAP for my heating bill and food banks to survive. I did not have money for a high water bill.

My ex filed 5 different quit claim deeds. All were incomplete and did I not get ownership of the property. I was ordered to sell the house to pay him $13,000. He convinced a judge that he could sell the house if the court would sign the deed to him. He sold it for $240,000. Here is where the HOA comes in, he allowed them to have $20,000. The second lawsuit had been filed, and I was ordered to complete mediation. I proved to the HOA’s attorney I did not own the property. He said he would take it up with the lead attorney and get back to me. I never heard back. The case was dismissed.

So without a trial, a hearing, a judgment the HOA got a windfall at my expense. My ex had allowed every expense imaginable in order not to pay me a dime. And the HOA was the beneficiary. And because I never owned the property, I wasn’t entitled to question them.
