Maher, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Dear Sir, In 2010, if you would have had to bring money to the closing, it sounds like there was no ?profit? in the property. If your agreement was to sell and split the profits - and there were no profits to be had - you should be prepared to demonstrate those circumstances. Your biggest issue is probably going to be that 4 years after the divorce, your Ex's name is still on the original mortgage loan. It is very likely that a Judge will not simply allow her credit to be utilized (and essentially tied up) without any corresponding benefit to her. As to the quit claim, you indicated that this was necessary to facilitate the modification and that the two of you had an agreement. I think that you've answered your own question. Something needs to be done? I would recommend that you identify some solutions that are fair to the both of you, and which honor the agreements that you referenced. Good luck.

You need to go to court and ask the judge to order him to sign. QDRO is prepared by attorney specialized in the area. Typically each party pays half cost.

It depends on the terms of your maintenance (alimony). If she agree to terminate maintenance, she might have to file to modify, which is a fairly high burden - she would have to show a substantial and continuing change of circumstances, and then the court would assess what she should get, which depends on her income, your income, lenghth of the marriage, etc. We can assist you in Colorado - feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
