That can be corrected. Under Arizona law, any community, joint tenancy and other property held in common for which no provision is made in the Decree "shall be from the date of the decree held by the parties as tenants in common, each possessed of an undivided one-half interest.".

Perhaps an agreement can be reached wth your ex-spouse as to how to address this asset? If not, a Petition or Motion can be filed in Court to have the matter addressed.

A qualified and experienced family law attorney can of course assist you in considering your options and then getting where you need to be. Most of us offer free, 1/2-hour consultations, in which your matter can be discussed in detail. That would be a great opportunity to discuss the specifics of your matter and develop a plan. I would encourage you to quickly schedule this free consultation.
