What is the name of your state? Florida

My huband was re-reading his divorce papers from his previous marriage (6 years ago) and it states that any property and debt be equally divided. Well since he had 2 children he left the house with the ex-wife and didn't ask for a buy-out (he walked away with only his car loan and car payments). In the papers it gives exlusive rights of the house to the wife until the youngest turns 18. What does this mean? Would he be entitled to anything on the house after the kids are 18? If so, what about any refi's she's made to take out money, and was she legally allowed to add her now ex-boyfriend to the deed so she could refi the property again?

thanks!

WAs she granted ownership- or just use?

If she only owns half, then boyfriends share would come out of her share.

How could she refi if hubby is still on tiitle? WAS hubby on title?

No, they removed him from the deed.
It was the wording in the papers that was confusing...wife granted exclusively rights to home until youngest child turns 18. Wouldn't it just say wife granted house...period?

If he was removed from the deed, then he is SOL. That couldn't have happened without his cooperation and consent.
