Divorce Settlement
In my divorce papers in 1994 in Detroit, Michigan, there was to be a quit claim putting the home in my name, which was done; and when the home sold I was to pay my ex $20,000 which was 1/2 of the equity at that time of the divorce. The home has not sold. Actually he is living in it right now. He has made a few updates to it. I have remarried. I think it would be right if at this time the home should be in joint ownership (him & me). He is actually having papers drawn up at this time; however, if I do this, I want to be absolved of having to pay him the $20,000 that the court originally ordered. I don’t want to very kindly give him 1/2 of the house and then be stuck having to pay him the $20,000 if he gets a hair crossed or something. I think it’s a fairly easy thing to do another quit claim, but I won’t sign anything unless I have been absolved of the original $20,000 and I’m not sure a simple paper by an attorney can do that. I have a feeling that there needs to be another court order absolving me of that. Help! (and thank you very much for it!!)

    So the two of you are trying to figure out a transaction involving tens of thousands of dollars? And you’re looking for legal advice on the internet, right?
