Greenville, TX asked in Divorce for Texas

Q: How can I get my ex to refinance the mortgage and get my name off? Divorce decree said 180 days to do this.

it’s well past the 180 days. At the time of the divorce i signed a quit claim deed to expedite the divorce. She has 1.5 million in land assets and $350,000.00 in a 401 K. She doesn’t work but has remarried a very wealthy man And they live in that house. She says she can’t qualify for the loan but drives a Ferrari. What does the law say about her assets and do I have recourse to force her to refinance. They have retained an attorney who sent a letter saying the new husband has no responsibility to be on the mortgage app with her so she shows no income by herself.

A: An evaluation of her actions at the 180 day mark would be important as well as how the decree is set out. Without the order being reviewed by an attorney all would be speculation as to answering your question. But, just based on your questions the first thought would be a motion for enforcement or case for breach of agreement if you all have an agreed decree. Good luck.
