Question:Kevin Mammola Atlanta Divorce Attorney

I was awarded the marital home and the associated mortgage payment obligation per our divorce decree.

I have since paid off the house and would like to get her name off the title. How do I do this?

Question:Cordell & Cordell attorney Andrea Miller

As part of our divorce, my wife was given exclusive possession of the marital home. She wants me to sign a quit claim deed so that the house is solely in her name.

However, when we tried to refinance with the bank in just my wife's name they wouldn't do it because her credit is so poor.

So am I in violation of the decree if I don't sign the quit claim deed since my name is still on the note at the bank?

Question

My wife had signed the quit claim deed form on the bank mortgage application forms. So the home is now paid off and the title is solely in my name.

Does Michigan law give her any rights to this property even though she has already signed the quit claim deed? Can I sell this property before we divorce or is it marital property?

Divorce Attorney Angela FoyQuestion:

My mother is in the process of getting a divorce. The man that she is divorcing still owes a lot of money due to his late wife's medical bills. He and my mother have a mortgage on a house. He was afraid that they could take the house away because of the money owed, so he signed a quit claim deed over to my mother and myself. Who does the house legally belong to, and what rights does he have regarding the house?

Question:

I signed a quit claim form and have a hold harmless statement wrtten into my divorce decree. My ex-wife has been delinquent with her mortgage payments and this has devastated my credit. I have talked to the creditor holding the mortgage and various other sources and I keep getting the message that I am ultimately responsible for the mortgage should she default. What was the point in signing the quit claim and hold harmless if I am not protected?! My future wife and I have been trying to purchase a new home and my credit score has been holding me back because of this previous mortgage. What are my options? Was this quit claim and hold harmless a total waste? It seems as though it is meaningless.

Answer:

File a Motion for Contempt with the court. You need to enforce the hold harmless provision. Request that the property be sold to remove your name from the mortgage. Hire an expert to testify about the value of your lost credit rating. Ask that your ex-wife repay you for your lost credit rating.
