Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I just tried to short sale my house and found out the quick claim deed that I did with my ex-husband upon the re-finance of our house and divorce was never recorded. Now I cannot close without my ex signing his permission for me to sell the house even though I have a divorce decree that says the house went to me.
The other problem I have is that my ex has a truck that was repossessed and is on my credit, even though the divorce decree said he had to refinance in his own name.
One last problem I have is that he is responsible for one half of the student loan that was taken out in my name during our marriage. He has never paid the student loan and I let it go, on the condition that he would pay the truck payment and keep my credit clean.
However it has been over a year since he stopped paying the truck. I am trying to short sale the house and he is not answering his phone. What does someone do in this ugly situation. I always thought we left on good terms, but I can't let the house go into foreclosure just because he is unwilling to help me out once again.

Since it is in your divorce decree, you can petition the Court to either have your ex-husband sign or if he can't be found, the clerk of the court can sign the new quit claim. If you still have the quit claim, you can get it recorded, even if it a copy.
