What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH
In 2009, I got divorced and it was decreed that I keep the property and for my ex wife to do a quit claim deed. She was also to be responsible for all debt acquired in her name.
I'm now trying to refinance with the gov't harp program, and last night I received an email stating in June, 2011 there was a judgment lien placed on the house for 9400.00, in my ex wife's name. Obviously, she didn't do the quit claim like she was court ordered to do.
It's beginning to look like I'm gonna have to take her to court to get this signed. I'd like to know once she is removed from the title, which should of been done in 2009, can the judgment lien be removed as well since she wasn't entitled to the property? If not do I have any recourse since she is currently in contempt of not doing the quit claim, and she's also in contempt for NOT holding me harmless from her debt??
