Q. Can I sell my premarital vacation home in Pennsylvania without my wife's consent?
A: Based only on the information you've provided, I don't see any reason why you can't sell it. Of course, since your wife is opposed to you doing so, she may take drastic action in response. Perhaps consulting with a local attorney well versed in family law may be a good idea.
Q. What legal actions can be taken if an ex-spouse delays refinancing deed removal per divorce decree in Pennsylvania?
A: I recommend that you have an experienced family law attorney review the property settlement agreement, or what you call the divorce decree. There may be language in it that could be helpful to your husband's position. An experienced attorney should be able to provide suggestions and recommendations for one or more options. I note that you're post indicates you're in Delaware and you haven't mentioned where the divorce was granted. You should contact an experienced family law attorney in the state,and preferably the county, where he divorce occurred.
Q. Is a prenup I signed under pressure, without legal advice, legally binding in PA?
A: First of all, it appears that you signed a post-nuptial agreement, not a pre-nup. Post-nuptial means "after marriage". Typically, the burden is on the person claiming to have been unduly pressured to sign an agreement or contract. It's a high bar to get over but it may be possible. You're absolutely going to want to consult with a local attorney well familiar with family law for advice specific to your situation. Good luck!
