home in a divorce.? i live in texas thats where the property is.

If you were awarded the home, you should refinance the balance and get your ex's name off the mortgage.

Consult with your divorce attorney on the terms of the divorce.

If you were awarded the home, then it is yours, and your ex will have to quitclaim it to you. If you get along, a county clerk recorder's office will usually have the proper forms to fill, have notarized when he signs, and return to the office to record. Otherwise, if you don't get along, you will have to have an atty force the issue and make him sign off, though I would think that showing your court orders to the county clerk recorder might allow you to get the home into your name only. You should ask your divorce atty about this, or you can ask your local Realtor; a good one will have the answers for you pertaining to your situation and your state's laws. As for any balance on it, you would want to refinance it and have the loan put in your name only. Good luck
