Tenants Divorce Lawyer withholding funds

[Lino B.]

Hi everyone

Two months ago I leased my townhouse to a tenant who was divorced or at least I thought so. Apparently she is right in the thick of it. Today I get a letter saying they are going to court to disperse money and that will happen in 2 months. In the meantime, she will be two months delinquent in rent. 

The money dispersed will be significant. Do I respond to the lawyer with anything other than she will be charged a late fee? Wait this out?

Talk me off a ledge, this sucks! I went through a divorce I don't need to be involved in my tenants!

Thanks!

If I were you I would charge late fees and initiate the eviction process, just in case they are trying to string you along.
