Re: i was ignorant about signing aquitclaim Deed

You might be able to have a court void the quitclaim deed on the basis of fraud or undue influence. Do you have a lawyer in the divorce proceeding? If so, ask her. Otherwise, you should consider hiring a lawyer. You have a lot to gain (or lose) by not getting good advice from someone who can look at what's going on in your case. The divorce case will involve a judge at some point looking over the property and bills, assets and debts, you both have, and if you are well represented you have the best chance of getting fair treatment.
