Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

In my divorce that was 5 yrs ago, our decree stated that my ex would have the house refinanced in his name in 30 days and I agreed to pay half the closing fees. We did not use attorneys. It is 5 yrs later and he has still not refinanced even though I have requested many times. I now feel that since he has broken the contract of removing my name in the 30 days, that I should not be responsible for paying half of the closing cost. Is it possible that I can refuse to pay half since so much time has went by and it was not judge ordered it was just agreed by us and signed by the judge?

"Agreed by us and signed by the judge" is the same as "ordered by the judge". You would have to get relief from this order via the judge granting it. You need an attorney to read your agreement and see what kind of relief you might get.
