Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

My ex and I did a simple dissolution of marriage and our divorce settlement was signed and notarized by both of us but not filed with the courts. In it, it says I will try to assume the mortgage in one year (I already have a signed quit claim deed). The closing is ready to proceed but my ex will not meet to sign his name to remove it. The closing agent will meet him anywhere any place he wants. He knows he has to and has even emailed me previously telling me to hurry up and do it. Since simple dissolution cases cannot be reopened and this agreement was not filed in court, I am not sure what to file to acquire his signature? Small Claims even though I need his signature and nothing monetary? Not sure if its breach of contract? Again no monies involved that I am looking for.

Without reading your agreement and the Final Decree no one can answer properly. Depending on what they state you may be able to bring a contempt proceeding.
