Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

I was awarded real property in NC property settlement against spouse and have court order to that fact. Both of our names are on the property. Register of Deeds there is telling me that my ex must sign off the property in order to have deed in my name only. Is this correct? (I now live in SC)

Yep. It does not matter what the court order says. Your husband should have signed a quitclaim deed giving you the property. Why did your divorce attorney not make sure this was done?

Is your ex-husband willing to do that now? If not, then you need to go back to your divorce attorney to see what needs to be done. It may be necessary to get a court order - I don't know as this is out of my area.
