In our State of FL Disolution of Marriage, my former husband signed the divorce decree, agreeing to grant me sole ownership of our home. 3 yrs. later, when I noticed that his name was still on the deed, he refused to sign a quit-claim deed. The divorce court will not help me, as it was a (non-contested) mutual agreement Disolution of Marriage decree, not a contested one. After the divorce, the court will only hear problems with a contested divorce.
My former husband contributed no money to buy home. I used solely my money for down payment, mortgage, insurance and property taxes. My name is the only name on property insurance, taxes and mortgage. When I wish to sell this home or if I die, how will my heirs gain complete ownership?

Welcome jyoung,
As your former husband's name is on the property deed, your heirs will face difficulty in getting the ownership of the property. You may also face issues if you wish to sell off the property. I would suggest you to buy out your former husband by offering him a certain sum of money and ask him to transfer ownership to you.
