Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Quick Claiming a house after a divorce

I have a question, in my divorce decree it was stated that my ex-husband has to quick claim our house to me. He has not done this yet and it has been over two years. Do I need him to get this done or can I do this without his consent since it is our court documents.
