Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I've been divorced since Jan 2009 and received my house in the settlement. I want to refinance but my ex will not sign quit claim deed. Can I refinance without this or is she legally required to sign it?

Not enough information. Did the Decree require anyone to do anything? Did it purport to transfer the house directly? If the former, you can ask the court to have the Clerk sign on her behalf, which the Title Co. should accept; if the latter, it might be as simple as recording the Decree. If neither, you may have to file a motion.
You should probably seek consultation with an appropriate family law specialist. I would suggest starting your search with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the Nevada chapter of which can be viewed at http://www.aaml.org/go/fellows/fellows-by-state/?showResults=true&state=NV.
