Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Seperation of assests

My husband and his ex-wife have a house that he gave to her in the divorce settlement. She is now selling her house and a quick claim deed was never signed. Can my husband still receive some of the equity in their house? His name has always been on the mortgage and she has always refused to refinance to eliminate this off of his credit.

We are getting mixed information from his attorney and hers.

Thank you for any help you can give us.

Re: Seperation of assests

First of all one must look towards the decree entered into when the partiesgot divorced. If it says that he must transfer the house to her then, he should just sign a quitclaim deed. If she was late on her payments and you incurred damages then you could recoup your losses at this time. There really is no clear cut answer.
