Q: I recently applied for home equity loan and found 2 judgements on the title from my wife now ex wife.
They renewed the 1 judgement and is there anyway I can get this dismissed as we are not married for the last 6 years ..I also had a bankruptcy 8 years ago and kept the house and has always been in my name..
A: If your wife never owned your property then her judgment lien never attached to your title. Hire an attorney to carefully search the title. If lien is only against her, and never attached to property, than borrow money elsewhere if necessary if present lender mistakenly believes your title is clouded. Marriage does not bestow title.
