Q: I was awarded primary residence in divorce. how can I remove ex from title w/o a quit claim deed in OK?

divorce was default, ex didnt show up for court, I was awarded primary residence. I am the only one on the mortgage. I want to re-finance, but was told I couldnt unless I get ex to sign a quit claim deed. Is there another way to remove ex from title/deed instead of a quit claim deed?

If your decree includes the legal description of the home, it can be recorded in county clerks office to sho title vested in you. If it doesn't, contact your attorney to amend the decree to fix this.

"Uncontested" means that your husband does not object to the divorce. You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with the divorce problem.
