Re: property / quick claim deed
It is a quit claim deed, not a quick claim deed. Your divorce attorney should probably not have left you in this position. You should have required your ex to refinance the loan on the property at the time of the divorce. You are still on the note and still legally responsible to the lender. I do not know whether the Bank had the legal right to withdraw funds from your bank account or not. If there was a hold harmless clause in your separation agreement or Judgment, you might be able to obtain a money judgment for your losses against your ex. Or, you might be able to take her back to court on a Motion for Contempt. Consult with an attorney.
