Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama
Want ex wife off deed
I was awarded the house in my divorce and I was wondering how to get my ex wife off the deed. I asked her to sign a quit claim deed (I don't know if that was the thing to do) and she said she would want a portion of the money if I ever sold the house. It all sounds like a mess to me and I would like to know what I can do.

Re: Want ex wife off deed
If your Decree has the legal description, that usually is sufficient. If not, you can file a Motion with the Court, to ORDER her to sign the Quitclaim Deed. Unless the Decree requires it, you are NOT required to give her any of the proceeds fom an eventual sale.
Please call me if you would like further assistance.
