I would be very interested to know if anyone unearths any legal information which might help the family I know here. <BR/><BR/>I think I've linked to your original post about the McGoverns' farm at least twice since you posted it, because I love it so much -- everything in the photos you posted just sings of family creativity and joy, which is that much more poignant when I consider how the joy and the Cross are so entwined -- in all our lives, really, of course, but in some lives so much more visibly. On a much more superficial level, I've learned to recognize beauty and warmth in my own house, which is also kind of smallish and low-ceilinged and darkish -- but also has a lot of red! <BR/><BR/>All that to say first, thanks for that original post, and second, that we are praying and wanting to do all we can, because home is home. <BR/><BR/>SallySally Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014351173194941624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-25495479057750294342007-09-20T15:51:00.000-04:002007-09-20T15:51:00.000-04:00SF - They do have a lawyer.

This is why the story rang true for me: my husband and I had just been reading stories of this happening to other Catholic families. <BR/><BR/>David,<BR/>Since you're a lawyer and have kindly offered, if there is a legal recourse for families in this position, it seems like people should know about it, especially the McGoverns and Mrs. T's friends! It sounds like a good cause for a Catholic lawyer to investigate, because it could be there is simply a lot of misinformation around on this issue. <BR/><BR/>If you do talk to the McGoverns and find out anything they can do, I'd be more than happy to pass on any legal strategies that folks can use to those who are writing and speaking about this issue now, like Steve Wood and Phil Lenahan. I'm serious. <BR/><BR/>You can email molly_mcgovern@yahoo.com.

Though the mortgage company might be able to call the loan at any time, I find it hard to believe they can foreclose on a property and take possession of it in 2 weeks.<BR/><BR/>I am a laywer, though not in Ohio, and would be willing to look at their loan documents and related papers from the mortgage company.<BR/><BR/>DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338645268565951237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-12377767261074988652007-09-17T23:42:00.000-04:002007-09-17T23:42:00.000-04:00This seems to be happening a lot right now, in res...This seems to be happening a lot right now, in response to the mortgage market crisis. A Catholic family in our area are losing their home -- after keeping up payments through a year when the husband was in the hospital for five months straight with an infection which led to heart failure and ultimately a transplant -- at 29. The wife was pregnant through that whole ordeal and delivered their fourth baby just weeks after her husband came home. That was in April; now they are losing their home. <BR/><BR/>Her mother, who sings in choir with me, says the same thing we're hearing here: attorneys have told the family that they have no recourse. Apparently, though the family were making their full payments, the company was failing to pay out the taxes and homeowners insurance which were rolled into those payments. It's staggering to me that this kind of thing can happen with no legal protection for the homeowner.Sally Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014351173194941624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-2148875567981420202007-09-17T21:44:00.000-04:002007-09-17T21:44:00.000-04:00Regina, look up subprime loans.

If the family was not behind in payments they have the law behind them to protect the terms of their loan. I would have them call my b in l, Mark Fischer, ASAP.

It's only now, as a last-ditch effort that they've started to ask others for help, since they have no other recourse.regina domanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564986258312394720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-86721384915756484672007-09-17T20:19:00.000-04:002007-09-17T20:19:00.000-04:00The family should get an attorney and there are se...The family should get an attorney and there are several good Catholic ones in the area. The loan company can not "call in" the loan and wouldn't want to unless the family is behind in their payments. The loan company, if going under, would sell their loan to another company who would be required to follow through on the same terms signed by the family at the origin of the loan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-69694648155016278372007-09-17T18:31:00.000-04:002007-09-17T18:31:00.000-04:00Does anyone by chance know the name of the company...Does anyone by chance know the name of the company that owns their mortgage?
