My son has paid his "wife" for 1/2 net value of the home. But the county would not accept the papers for transfer on the deed.

Since Feb. 2012 my son finally got as far as refinancing the home and paying his "wife" 1/2 of the net value of the home. When he took the Real Property Transfer Report she had signed to the county to get a change in the deed in his name only the county would not accept the papers saying they are out dated papers. That paperwork was provided by his lawyer. Now she has the money for the house and he can't get the deed registered in his name. HIs lawyer seemed not interested in the problem. My son went on line and got the form and filled it out. There is also a timeshare that needs to be transferred to his name only that he thought his lawyer was handling, but nothing has been done with it. What recourse does he have to get his to be "ex" to sign papers for these two pieces of property. Its been almost 3 yrs and $33,000 in legal fees, no dependent children and net assets of less than $300,000. He would like to get this settled asap without spending another $30,000 in lawyers fee
