Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
I recently went through an uncontested divorce with no lawyers. My wife give up her rights to the house, but I can't get her to sign the deed totally over to me. I have no money for a lawyer, can I file something to let the judge know she's defying the divorce order?

Yes you can.
Yes you can, and since you want to be your own lawyer you have to figure it out (and if you figure wrong you won't get the house).
You found out once why it is always an expensive mistake to file pro se. The few hundred dollars you saved will now cost you a lot more in contested legal fees. Your lawyer would have drafted a quitclaim deed to be signed simultaneously with the agreement.
Bite the bullet, spend a few thousand now because you chose not to spend a few hundred. Doing that will save you even more when you botch the second case too.
