I was awarded our home and property in our divorce paperwork. My ex was supposed to sign a quick claims deed but never followed through with it and now he won't comply. Can I use the divorce papers in order to have his name removed from the home and/or the mortgage on it? I have been paying on the home and the property taxes for years and he has never paid a cent. Thank you.

A copy of your divorce decree is avaliable in the records in your county. When you go to sell you house, the title company will pick up a copy of that divorce decree and see who was awarded what. More than likely if you husband fail to comply, the divorce decree filed of record would be sufficient for the title company to insure title to whom ever the purchaser maybe.
Hi katieg!
Welcome to forums!
I agree with Tawana. Moreover, as your divorce decree states that your husband should quitclaim the property to you, I think you'll be able to sue him for not signing over the property. You can contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion on this issue.
