Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

non-contested divorce

I was married for 29 years and in november 2006 she filed and we agreed to a non-contested divorce. the divorce was finale on 1-4-07. we agreed that I would pay her $25,000 and she would sign off on our house, which she did. We also have other property adjacent to the house which she was to sign off on for an additional $4000. now she has changed her mind and wants $10,000. what rights does she have and is there any action she can take that would adversely affect my ownership on this property? Does a non-contested divorce mean that each party is entitled to the property in their possession at the time the divorce is granted? she left this property in november. I need your response as soon as possible please. Thank you!!

Re: non-contested divorce

I would have to review your divorce decree to determine what your options are in getting her to sign a quitclaim deed to the property. If the legal description of the property is specifically identified in the decree, however, you should be able to clear title by filing the decree in land records.
