You need her to sign over her interest in the property via a quitclaim deed and then have it recorded at the county recorder's office.

It should have been in the divorce judgment. If she will not sign, you will have to go back to court.
Re: real estate
You need to get her to sign a quit-claim deed conveying her 1/2 interest in the property to you. If she will not do it voluntarily, then you need to file a Motion to Enforce Mediated Settlement Agreement. The argument you would make is: "We settled this divorce. She agreed to give me the house. She signed a Marital Settlement Agreement that says she was giving me the house. This Marital Settlement Agreement was incorporated into the Final Judgment. So, the Court needs to enforce its Final Judgment now and make her sign a Quit-Claim Deed taking her name off the house". Good luck!
