with disabilities? My ex-husband was supposed to pay my mortgage in lieu of child support per our divorce agreement. He has stopped making payments and my home will soon be in foreclosure. I am on disability (SSI) and was wondering if there were any programs to protect disabled people from losing their homes to foreclosure. I doubt there is, but I am desperate as my son is also disabled with autism and moving out of the only home he's ever known will be terribly detrimental to his progress.

Probably not, having a disability doesn't mean you don't have to pay your bills. You're probably going to have to work something out with your ex-husband. You might have to sue him if you have a legally binding agreement *in writing*.

Go to the courthouse that issued your judgment & go to the court clerk's desk & ask them what forms you need to fill out to notify the judge that your ex has not honored the court order. They might have a free attorney service to assist you. The forms should be free or a nominal fee per page (tell them you are indigent with no income other than your SSI). The judge will attach his wages & you will get your money. In the mean time...try to work with your bank or mortgage company by telling them your current situation. Tell them you have a case pending for your ex husband's "failure to pay his judgment to you." Also ask a real estate agent about selling your house on a "short sale"& get some money out of it before your lose it all.This is why you never allow an ex to do things different than the paperwork says. Good luck, I hope things work out for you & your child.
