Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
divorce and property
my husband divorced his first wife 3 years ago and in the divorce settlement he had to pay her $5,000 in $100 installments for 50 months.This would buy out her interest in the house they were buying and vehicles. she also wanted her personal belongings. She received her personal belongings before the divorce was final and the sum of $5,000 has been paid off since September 2005. we sent her a quitclaim deed to sign,to have her name removed from the house and she will not sign the form. she sent her son to our house with a list of items that she says she wants ( items such as a coffee cup, cook book, baking pan ect.) or she will accept my husbands truck or snow blower instead. My question is, because she has been paid off, shouldn't she have to sign off the house and vehicles and what can we do to make this happen? Thank You

Re: divorce and property
You can either give her the items she requested (it sounds like there are personal items she forgot about when she originally collected her personal belongings) or file a motion to obtain an order to force her to sign the quit claim deed. If you can easily give her the items she requested or an explanation as to why you or your husband no longer have them, it would probably be in your best interests to do so as it would not cost you any time, money, or aggravation.
Good luck.
