QUESTION
Can she sign the house back over to me since my name is on the mortgage, rather than losing money?
Asked on Mar 30th, 2013 on Divorce - Texas
More details to this question:
I bought a house in 2006 while married to my ex-wife. The mortgage is in my name only. In the divorce the house was awarded to her with an SW Deed. A DOTSA was assigned to me. She has been unable to secure financing to buy the house, so now it needs to be sold with all proceeds going to her. Does she need me to sell the house? Thank you!

She doesn't need you to sell the house, and she can deed it back to you if she likes.

If she recorded the deed from you to her, she is the record owner of the house and has the right to sell it. To protect yourself, it would be a good idea to hire a lawyer.
