A Shared Mortgage Can Be a Trap

Lauren is still stuck in a mortgage with her abusive ex-husband even though they are divorced and she was given the house.

Her ex is refusing to let her sell the house or change the mortgage, which is a way to control her and keep her trapped.

This is a type of abuse that can be really hard to escape, especially when you are trying to rebuild your life after leaving an abuser.

It’s important for people to understand that joint mortgages can be used as a weapon by abusers to control victims even after they leave the relationship.
