my spouse's divorce was final in 2007 in ohio. the ex-wife has not removed her name from the property where we reside since we were legally married in 2008 new york; we have no way of reaching her-how do we handle this and what are the implications of adding my name to the deed if/when she signs the quitclaim? thanks
>>how do we handle this
a judge will need to do it if you can't contact her, so you'll have to go through the legal process.
>>and what are the implications of adding my name to the deed if/when she signs the quitclaim?
if there's a mortgage involved, it will become due-and-payable if the lender finds out title has been altered. the best way to do it is have the judge remove the ex-spouse first, then refinance the mortgage so you're on the note and title with your husband.

Since divorce was finaled in 2007, a lot depends upon ex-wife's willingness
