Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I brought a home with my wife at the time and we are divorced. My former wife's name is still on the deed but the divorce decree mentioned since she left me I am entitled to the property and claiming a minor child which resided in the home with me. My ex-wife remarried someone else and I am also remarried someone else. My current wife has a home and I still have my home. In the event of my passing would my current wife get my home? Or is it necessary to remove my ex-wife's name from the deed before the any change in life events occur? If the ex-wife's name needs to be removed what action is necessary?

Your ex-wife's name needs to be taken off through the issuance of a properly completed quit claim deed pursuant to your final divorce decree. Seek legal help in getting this done.
