Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My ex wife and I drafted our own divorce decree and chose the option of her keeping the house and making mortgage payments but sharing profits when it is sold. I want to know if I can get a court order demanding her to refinance the house in order to get my name off the title. I would rather not wait for her to sell the house in case she walks away. Please advise.
