Q: Do I have any right to money from the sale of the house my ex husband is selling when he never removed me from the deed
We bought the house in 2019, divorced in September 2022 when I moved out. He had until Nov 1 to remove me from the deed but never did. Now he’s selling and wants me to sign the paperwork to remove me from the deed.

A: In a situation like this, the division of proceeds from the sale of the house typically depends on the divorce settlement agreement or court orders. If your divorce decree outlines how the property should be handled and whether you're entitled to a share of the sale proceeds, that agreement would usually govern the situation. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
