Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My ex-wife was awarded the home in the divorce. She has two years to refinance the home in her name only. It was not stated clearly in the decree but, do I have legal grounds to put the home up for sale if she is unable to refinance? I am not able to purchase a home while my name is still on this home.

Your rights (after the two years are up) should be defined by the terms of the decree. If the decree isn't clear, then you may need to file a motion for clarification.
I agree with what Mr. Dunn has stated in the above answer. If the matter needs no clarification, then you need to file an Enforcement Action. I can assist you with that matter.
