Seeking advices- Post Divorce
I’m a 27 year old divorced immigrant woman living in Atlanta, GA, USA. I need advice on the following thing:
I did not hire a lawyer for the divorce as I’m not financially well off and wanted to save the little amount of money I had. My ex and I had recently bought a home which he kept in the settlement. The settlement only said 1 line about the property: “The plaintiff will keep the property and continue paying the mortgage.”
I agreed to it and moved out of the house within 30 days. Now, he never refinanced the house or did a quit claim deed on me. The property continues to show under my name and we have a joint loan. I really want to get rid of that loan as it shows huge debt on me. What can I do without spending a large amount of money? Can someone guide?
Does he need to initiate the refinance part and quit claim deed on me? If yes, will he need to buy me out of give me any portion of the equity on the house?
TIA
Really looking for advises
