Interestingly enough, in connection with a title search, the real estate folks usually check DIVORCE records to see if the decree gave anybody any interests in LAND. It is very likely that you'll get paid just because of this.
In the alternative, you can RECORD your decree with the county clerk in the county where the land is located. It's expensive, though - usually $3/page.
