Q: I want to sell my house but my ex wife does not want to. The title is under my name and the deed is in both our names.

There was no court settlement at the time of the divorce as we chose to do that on our own. My ex refuses to sign a quit claim. How can I proceed to have her name removed from the deed? Can I still sell the house even if she does not want to ?

Part of our divorce decree stated that my ex was to get $10k if I ever sold the house or transferred ownership. He placed a deed to secure debt on the house. I am trying to sell the house and can't get clear title because of that. It has been 22 years!

You will have to read the language of the judgment to determine if there is a deadline. Because you are to follow the order. And if the order does not provide a deadline, then it's likely you are still bound by that order.
