Pennsylvania.
Divorce was final on January 5, 2001. I signed the house over to him and he was to take my name off the mortgage and a business account (credit line). He has failed to take steps in doing so. After calling the lenders, both institutions tell me that he needs to re-apply. I have moved to California and would like to purchase a home of my own but need to get the mortgage and business loan off my credit report. I really had poor representation for my divorce and would not like to pursue this matter using the same attorney. Is there something I can do on my own or is it wise to seek a different attorney? If finding a different attorney is the answer, would it be better if I found one in California or should I find one in Penna?

My response:

Your matter is far too complicated to handle on your own. You really need to hire an attorney in PA, and you need to handle this in the same PA court, preferably in front of the same PA judge who rendered the original order. California has no jurisdiction in this matter, even if you do eventually move there.
