Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

property rights

I was divorced 5 years ago, and two years ago the deed to the marital home was supposed to be signed over to myself and custodial children in an ammended divorce aggreement through the NJ court mandated order. The ex husband failed to sign it over within the 30 day period, and has refused to sign it over in all this time. Is he in contempt of court? How can I get him to sign it over without bringing about another court date? What are my rights as plaintiff?

Re: property rights

Depending on how the last Order is worded, you may be able to record it as a transfer. It would have to be looked at by an attorney or title company to tell. Otherwise, if he will not sign a Deed, the only recourse is to go back to Court. If I can be of some help, please call for an appointment.

It is just a simple matter of filing a motion with

the court for an order transferring legal title

into your name and the names of your children, alone, and further ordering the county clerk to accept the order as a deed.
