Have a situation where wife agreed to MSA in 2000. She was essentially intimidated into signing an agreement she didn't understand which was by and large very unbalanced and unfair. She recognizes this was a mistake and has talked to councel, however based on the $ amounts it probably isn't worth it to go back and have judgement readdressed.

But, PER MSA, he was awarded family home. but she is still co-liable for a 1st Trust deed and a Home Equity LOC on on the property. Also, She was to sign a Quitclaim on request. However exhusband has never (until now) requested the quitclaim.

Here is the question: The Judgment was in 2000, are there any statute of limitations on enforcement of MSA (i.e. requirment to sign the quitclaim on property)?

Note: At this point her only leverage in getting herself off the debt is the fact that she hasn't signed the QC deed. I'm concerned that her resistance to signing could potential result in a cival action by the Ex.
