Legal Question in Family Law in California

I live in Santa Clara County, CA. I recently filed for divorce (default, husband never responded) and the judgment recognizes that our jointly owned house is now owned solely by me, along with the mortgage responsibility (I have been the sole mortgage payor since 2008). I was not able to get my ex-husband to sign a quitclaim deed. He is schizophrenic and in and out of mental hospitals. I do not want to have any contact with him whatsoever. How can I get him off title of the house without asking him to sign a quitclaim deed?

You can't get him off title without either him, an appointed conservator, or an appointed elisor signing a deed to you.

If he refuses to sign the deed, you can petition the Court to appoint the Clerk to sign in his place. Good Luck.
