My son is thinking about putting his house in Yukon on the market. He had a gentleman over there to do some kind of inspection. I don't know if he was an appraiser or an inspector, but he knows about foundations.

My son has had the house for 4 and 1/2 years. When he purchased this place, he had it inspected by a professional who never told him that there was a patch job on the foundation. There was also no mention at all of such a thing in the assessment the guy gave him before he bought the house. Had he of known that there were foundation problems he never would have purchased this particular home. Now he is having major problems with his foundation. After 4 and 1/2 years does he have any recourse?

Was the owner before your son the first owner? If not, maybe he didn't know about the patches.

Patches? He said he didn't need any stinkin' patches.

The house is older than 10 years. We don't know if the previous owners knew about it or not. The inspector was bonded and the reason we didn't know about the patched foundation is because it was covered up with bushes. He discovered it when we were landscaping.

Its that area just south of I-40 off of that street with the German sounding name; 'something' Hall Rd. To me, it looks like some sloppy builder just slapped those houses together during a housing boom.

step one: what did the contract with the inspector your son signed say about liability for stuff the inspector missed?

That would be Czech Hall Road.

Yeah, that neighborhood south of I-40 is a rather cheaply built...

Of course I don't know why they're even having a hearing. There really isn't anything to fight over. She had nothing when they met 5 years ago, but now has plenty. They have no children together. He has given her absolutely everything except his personal belongings, and a house which is in his name, that he owes more for than its worth. He dug himself into a hole.

That's called marriage.
