Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My ex wife got our house in the divorce, before the divorce she refinanced with my name (without a signature) and then filed for bankruptcy, she was found in contempt of court and claimed she didn't want to refinance because she would lose her interest rate. The judge allowed her to wait until her bankruptcy was over. That happened a year ago and ahe still has not refinanced. It is negatively affecting my credit report as it adds $180,000 of dept to my dept to income ratio. We were divorced officially in 2017. Do I have any recourse to have her refinance or hold her accountable for affecting my credit?

Two points of issue. If you are divorced your decree should state the terms of refinancing the house - secondly if the bankrupt just allowed her additional time it would be in an order.

Take both copies - send them to your credit bureau (S) and they should remove any bad credit from your file. If not, then I suggest you get an attorney and have that person straighten this out for you.
