Legal Question in Family Law in California

My ex and I were married in 2008. We Separated in 2010. In 2011 he signed a Quitclaim Deed deeding the house to me but apparently it was never filed. I do have a copy of the Deed that he signed. I found I that the Deed wasnt recorded when I attempted to modify my home loan. In 2012/13 we Completed and got a judgment for a summary divorce. I've been told that we filed the wrong divorce and now my ex wont sign a new Quitclaim Deed though he already signed one. I also believe I am over my time limit to set aside my divorce. Would this be a civil matter now? I don't believe my divorce judge has jurisdiction since we did not include the property in our divorce.

California family law allows for a motion to request the division of an omitted asset. It sounds like the house would qualify in your present circumstance. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
