Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Complicated question.

Is an equitable distribution claim pending? Answer may depend on that, if you are already legally divorced by a court order.

But if her name is on the deed as a grantee, then she has rights under property law regardless of divorce. As grantees you don't "sign a deed" so her signature would not likely be on it anyway. Unless the bank had you and her grant it to the two of you as "tenants by the entirety" after you were married in order to get that mortgage.
