Q: Is there a precedent in NC when the ex-spouse has refused to sign a quitclaim deed and now cannot be found?
My ex has refused to sign the quitclaim deed despite my having been awarded the property as a part of the divorce decree. Now she has stopped all contact and all attempts to contact her are fruitless. All attempts have been returned with 'moved and left no forwarding address'. Is there any way to request that a judge order the quitclaim be processed due to the inability to find the ex-spouse?

A: You don't need precedent - when someone fails to do right and you are faced with the prospect of having to force them to do right - you hire an attorney. Go consult with a local family law or real property attorney. They should be able to get your situation squared away. Best of luck.
