Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Re: Divorce

Was there a time frame specific in the divorce judgment as to when he had to have your name off the mortgage? There should have been, and if not, you lawyer made a mistake. You will have to file a motion with the Court to have that portion of the judgment enforced, so that he can at least TRY to refinance or get your name off the house. The fact that he may not qualify or that the house declined in value due to the market should not be an excuse - it is his duty to get you off the house, and should not be your problem.

If you are required to take this to court, make sure you request reimbursement for your costs due to his violation of the judgment.

Re: Divorce

You need to sign a quit claim deed to the house and file it with the register of deeds. You and your ex as a couple need to quit claim to him and new wife. That should take care of it. You can order the form on-line. Good luck.

Re: Divorce

You can file a motion to enforce the judgment of divorce.

I would recommend you hire a family law attorney.
