Re: Looking for some good advice...

Well, I definitely don't plan to default on the payments. It's not a large loan, so they're not large payments, so even if something does happen, it's not like it'd be a huge mess that I'm not able to pay. And I do plan to take his name off the loan, and the sooner the better, but I'm told that I need a copy of the recorded deed deleting his name in order to get an assumption of the loan, which is what I'm aiming to do, and in order to do that, I need the quit claim deed.

But that's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is if he's entitled to any money from the house if I am to sell in twenty-four months? Because we only owned the home jointly for nine months prior to our separation, meaning he put VERY little into the home, and if I pay on it for 24 months (technically 28 months, as I've been here paying by myself for four months already) and actually build up equity on the home (which there is none now), then he shouldn't be entitled to any of that money. Yet it states in the Decree that I will be forced to sell the house in 24 months if I am unable to refinance or assume the loan, but I'd have to do it with him, not by myself. Since he's signing the quit claim, would that make it so he's NOT entitled to any of that money?

Re: Looking for some good advice...

He would not be entitled to any of the money from the sale of the home if he signs a quit claim deed and it is filed with the county.

As for being forced to sell in 24 months, this is only to assure that his name is removed from the loan, if you are going to remove it with the refinancing then he will have nothing to say about the sale, only if the loan remians in his name.
