Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Breach of Divoce Decree

In my divorce decree my ex wife was granted the residence and ordered to refinance in her name. Quitclaim Deed and Special Warranty deed were executed and all documents were provided to a Title Company selected by my ex wife. I have now been informed, 18 months later by the original mortgage company that the loan was late 60days and reported to the credit services and I remain as the primary on the loan no matter what the Divorce Decree ordered and the ''Hold Harmless'' clause states.

What recourse do I have?

Find a good family law attorney and seriously consider bringing the mortgage current if you don't want a foreclosure on your records.

Divorces DO NOT change the terms of existing mortgages. That's why she was suppose to refinance.
