Question:
I have not received the full amount of money from my ex-husband as stated in the divorce decree – this has caused me to not sign the quit claim on that home. Do I have to sign this or do I still own 1/2 of the house since my name is on the title with his name.

Answer:
You are still titled to the house. However, if the decree requires that you sign the deed, you are also in violation – unless the decree required that he pay you as a condition to receiving the deed. You should consult with an attorney who can review the decree and advise you of your rights and obligations.
