You had a somewhat shorter marriage and you've been divorced for at least 5 years; if it wasn't taken care of in the divorce it's not going to happen now. And not that you would, but don't make the mistake of threatening her with "sign the quit claim or I'll sue you", k? That will not work.
(and by the way the color of your skin is about as relevant as what I had for breakfast this morning)

If so, what is the exact wording of the decree? | |
