What is the name of your state? NJ
The ex-husband and the wife has a deed as of 06/96. Now that they are divorced, the ex husband won't sign a new deed, after the final property settlement agreement dated 01/06, that the wife will keep the house. The ex husband said that his signiture is not needed into the new deed. If his signiture is REALLY required, how can I force him to sign to RELINQUISH HIS RIGHTS TO THE HOUSE? THANKS - Dan |

THANKS - Dan | Is there anybody who could help me? If the divorce AND property settlement are final and the court has signed off on the deal that the wife will keep the house, can the ex still NOT to sign the new deed to relinquish his rights of the marital home? She wants him out of the deed, as stated in the final settlement. HE BELIEVES HIS SIGNITURE IS NOT NEEDED IN THE NEW DEED. How can I force him to sign the new deed? Is he contempt of law? Please help.. |

She can take him back to court and file a show cause for contempt. HOWEVER has she refinanced the house? If not she needs to get his name off the mortgage in order for a judge to make him relinquish his name on the deed. That is only fair. YOU can't do anything however. |

| | | It's written and agreed upon by both parties, and in front of the judge - that she could keep the house. And now the ex-husband won't sign.. What's that, a game.. I don't think so... |
