Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Property Division
My Ex Husband & I have been Divorced a little over 7 years. I received the house & property in the divorce. Now, almost 8 years later, during a re-finance, I found out his name is still on the Title. He is refusing to sign a Quit Claim Deed to remove himself from the Title. What other means do I have of getting him off the Title.

Re: Property Division
If you had an attorney during your divorce, you can call them and ask for help with this. Your remedy depends on what your decree says. I can't tell from here.
What the attorney will probably do is file a motion for an order enforcing the decree and for attorney fees for the necessity. He or she will ask the court to appoint a special master to sign the deed if your ex will not.
This will cost your ex a LOT of money.
Please contact your local Bar Association for a referral if you need a new lawyer. This is a family law/real property problem of post decree enforcement.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
