More details to this question:
I am currently divorced. My wife filed for the divorce 100 miles away and I had no transportation to attend the hearing. She was awarded the house as well as other things. She has had her attorneys send me a quit claim deed for the house. It tells me that I have to sign it or will be in contempt of court. Do I have to sign or can I fight this

You would need to challenge the default decree that orders you to sign the quit claim deed. Your ability to do this would depend on how long it has been since the default/decree was entered and whether you have a good basis to set it aside. You should contact an attorney to see if you have any basis to set aside the default decree.
