QUESTION
What rights do I have after the Divorce Decree has been finalized?
Asked on Oct 07th, 2019 on Divorce - Texas
More details to this question:
My ex-wife is refinancing a home we still own together and is trying to remove me from the deed. In our divorce decree we agreed to split the equity of the home 50-50 upon selling. My fear is that if she removes me from the deed/loan I may lose my claim on the equity once it sells. Additionally, can I force her to sell the home or add a selling deadline somehow that denies her the ability to stay in the home forever?

If you do still have an ownership interest in the home, it cannot be sold without your signatures. You should have an attorney review your decree to confirm that you still have an ownership interest. If your ex-wife is trying to sell the home without you, it sounds like she may have been awarded the home in the decree. Also, whether she can stay in the house or not depends on what the decree says.
