Re: Realestate

What do you mean "she let him keep his name on the house"? Did the Judgment in the divorce case award the house to her? Was she represented by an attorney? Did that attorney allow her to let her ex-husband keep his name on the house? There may be a way to go back to Court and obtain a Court Order requiring the ex to sign off on the house or even have the judge transfer the house directly, but this will require some effort and expense on the part of your girlfriend which probably could have been avoided.
