Separated 2 years, divorced in Dec. 2016. Ex purchased a home while we were separated. I have contributed nothing towards the house, down payment, closing, payments, upkeep. Divorce Decree gives him 100% ownership, but have not removed my name. Have never stayed in the home, visited one time. I am going to file bankruptcy and need to know legal way to remove my name from the deed so that he is not caught up in the bankruptcy.
If the property was awarded to your husband in the divorce decree then the decree should have been filed in the County Deed Records maintained by the County CLerk. This is not done automatically. You or someone would have needed to or still can file a certified copy of the divorce decree.
