Q: I have a copy of the free traders agreement and the register of deeds cannot use a copy.
Can I reach out to my spouse attorney to get the original document so I can record it myself.
A: If you also have a separation agreement in place, it will likely specify that your spouse must cooperate with anything reasonable and necessary to effectuate the terms of the agreement. If it is reasonable and necessary to file an original with the register of deeds to effectuate the terms, then the contract would require their cooperation. However, it may make more sense to make 3 or so originals (real-ink signatures on three copies), so you don't have the problem in the future.
