Re: quit claim deed on home

If he was required by the settlement agreement or court order to sign a quitclaim deed and he has not, you can file a motion for contempt in the divorce court and ask the court to order him to do so or to enter an order transferring the property to you, which order can be filed in the real estate records like a deed. You can also ask the court for attorney's fees for having to do this.

Assuming the deed was properly executed and filed you can get a copy from the clerk's office. If not, consider a motion for contempt. Consult with a local attorney.
