Bayou Boy in Tx asked:


During our divorce, my ex- duped me into signing over the deed of the house to her, but failed to mention that my name was still on the mortgage. She was being coached by a relative who works in real estate on how to “work me” to get the best deal for herself and leave me holding the bag. I was a wreck at the time, and didn’t know better. Now I’m trying to buy another house but am having trouble b/c of my income/debt ratio. She’s thinking about refinancing (cash-out) on her house, but says she won’t do it unless I pay for closing fees. Do I have a case to take her to court and either clear my name of any and all financial responsibility or get my name added back to the deed? Is there anything I can do??!?!
