Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Married in 2009 and divorced in 2011. I bought a house with only my name on the mortgage however ex-spouse name is on the Deed as well. During the divorce he did not show up to the hearing and I was awarded the house. I have a no contact order against him and have no clue where he is now or how to get in touch with him. I would now like to sell the house...again the mortgage is only in my name. Will it be an issue with his name being on the deed and if so, how do I get him removed from the deed without being able to find him?

Talk to your attorney who handled the case or with the Clerk of Court. There is a rule that the Final Judgment may act as the transfer document.
Agree with colleague. The final judgment should be amended to include language that the final judgmnent operates as an instrument of conveyance of real property.
