Q: Followup: Divorce not final and quitclaim deed not file...
You’ve just described much of what can and will go wrong in a diy divorce. Get your brother to a lawyer in your county where he can at least be explained and understand his Orion’s. Much I’ll able to salvage if he moves fast.....
Q: Can the wife go back on the initial filed divorce agreement for property?
The agreement is a contract and if your brother has held up his end of the bargain, he can probably enforce it. That being said, her names is on the deed. Did she sign a hit claim deed transferring her interest back to your brother pursuant to the agreement? If so, I’d say he pretty much wins.
