Jasper, GA Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Alimony is "the last great crapshoot of family law." It is highly variable as to what State's law applies, the particulars of your factual history, and even the predispositions of the individual judge.

In Utah, if the award of the house to your ex-wife in the divorce was conditioned upon her making the mortgage payment in full and on time, but your ex-wife as failed to perform that condition, you can go back into court seeking a modification of the decree of divorce, asking that the house be awarded to you or that the house be sold to remove you from the mortgage is liable party. You can also ask on a temporary basis that your wife the order to vacate the house and that renters be allowed in, if you have renters available, so that your ex-wife no longer has possession and occupancy of the house and you have a means of having the mortgage paid pending sale. There may be other options available to you as well, but these are the most common. You would be wise to have an attorney help you with this as opposed to trying to do it yourself, as doing it yourself will probably take a lot of time but you don't have and you wouldn't want to make a mistake.

You can certainly sign the title in the proper place (usually in the back) and mail it. I would keep a copy of the title showing your signature and send it certified mail or Fed Ex so you have a record of sending it.
