since I filed for the dissolution of my marriage, my ex-husband failed to appear for all court dates which the judge made a judgment based on default and granted me possesion of the property my ex-husband and I bought while married. I did not know that a Interspousal Transfer Deed needed to be signed because my attorney did not inform me of it. The judgement was done on October 25th, 2006. How many days do I have or does my attorney have to get this taken care of? If not taken care of, can my ex-husband filed a suit against me and stop the deed from being transferred?

Linda, I don't think it is possible for your husband to file a lawsuit and stop the deed from being transferred in your name. You have got the property being granted to you.

Linda,

I would advice that your attorney should contact ex-husband and get the interspousal transfer deed made out. As per the divorce decree the property needs to be transferred to you. There is no particular set time frame within which the property should get transferred. Even now the deed can be made out and it would be valid.

On the other hand if the judgment had specifically mentioned that the property transfer should be completed within a certain time period then it would have been different.
