Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Oklahoma
I was divorced about 15 years ago. At the time of the divorce, I was a very poor college student and could not afford an attorney. I signed a "quit claim" deed to the house because my husband wanted to keep the house. I did not know that it did not take me off the house loan. Now, 15 years later, the ex-husband is in foreclosure. I already have a new life with my own family and my own house which is in good standing, The bank thinks I should pay for my ex-husband and his wife's house now even though I will not get the house. What are my options? Is there a law that will let me have the property back if I start making payments 15 years later?

Get a good lawyer. Examine your divorce decree. That states who gets the house and about the mortgage.
