Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

I sold my home on a land contract in lansing michigan. The buyers have defaulted. The contract does allow for forfeiture. I sent them notice of default 10/17/12 giving them 15 days to pay or move out, They dropped a check in my door. I deposited the check. They then filed a complaint and summons stating i refused to take money or check for 3 months and put a stop payment on the check I had deposited. They are also sueing me for a full year of payments and all property tax paid. They say they put all money owed in escrow.I have answered the complaint and am awaiting notice from the court. Do I have to send them another 15 day notice and then file with district court or can this be addressed during their suit brought against me? I just want them to pay what they owe or forfit the contract and move out.

You should contact an attorney right away. This is especially important since you are in active litigation over the property. Your rights in this lawsuit are governed by Michigan court rules and statutes. Again, I would recommend you contact an attorney who practices real estate litigation.
