Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Regarding Quit Claims. A few years ago, my (now) ex-wife was then my fiance, but we had had an extended engagement. In order to help her get past the fact that we just hadn't married yet, I filed a quit claim on the house on which I have a mortgage, for her. Now, obviously, time has passed, and so has our marriage. Can I get the quit claim reversed? And is it as simple as getting both of us a signed document agreeing to withdraw it? The divorce decree assigns the house and its debt to me. Does that mean I don't need her signature?

There is no such thing as reversing a deed.
What needs to be done now depends on the exact wording of the decree. Hopefully you had a lawyer. If you did, see the lawyer you hired in your divorce. If not, see a lawyer ASAP.
Your post makes no sense.
The one question I can discertain from it has an answer of no. You can't "withdraw" a deed.
Depending on the language of the decree, and hopefully your attorney prepared it so that it is worded properly, what needs to be done now will be stated clearly in the decree. Since I have not read the decree I cannot tell you what would need to be drafted. (You probably do need her signature. You also need a lawyer.)
