Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Quit Claim Deed.
When I got divorced 3 years ago, I signed a Quit Claim Deed so that he could refinance the house in his name only. Well, now there is no record of the Quit Claim Deed anywhere. I am still on the tax bill and title to the house. We are in a custody battle and I want to use that for leverage. I guess I need to know if I am still legally entitled to half of the property since there is no record of the Quit Claim anywhere. He wants me to sign a new one.

Re: Quit Claim Deed.
You must first realize that if you were required by the courts divorce decree to quit claim your interest in the property, you are still obligated to do so.
However, if this has some how caused you to spend money due a bad credit report or paid taxes on the property to avoid this, you may be able to recover something.
