Right now she is only "asking" for it....doesn't mean she will get it....if she does, try to work out a payment option with her or through the court system...unfortunately if you end up having to pay a lump sum.... you end up paying the lump sum....courts don't care where it comes from....they tell you to sell, sell, sell.....if not you could be held in contempt which takes some time to go
through the courts...trust me , I know....been trying to get my ex into jail on contempt charges since mid Jan 2002....and it still hasn't happened yet. Don't panic....try to negotiate....!! Get an attorney if you don't have one....if you can't afford one...call Legal Services in your area to see if you qualify for free legal counsel.
