Can ex sale home if my name is on the deed?

0.10 Dollars($)

I was married to my son's father for nineteen years. We divorecd three years ago. At the time of the divorce, I stupidly signed the deed to our home (along with everything else) over to him and he agreed to take my name off our mortgage. We lived apart for only three months & then got back together but didn't remarry. Eventually we did a quit claim to put me back on the deed. After living together for a year, the relationship didn't work out so I moved out. He is now demanding that I sign the deed back to him so he can sell the home. I want both of us to give (deed) the home to our son who is now 21. Can he sale without me signing the deed? I don't think he can or he would have already done it. Should I get an attorney?
Any help is appreciated.

if you are an owner of the property, any decisions regarding that property must be approved by you. the answer is "no" he cannot sell the home without your authorization.

one other point - if you ask about the need for an attorney, you may very well need one.

Hi guest,

Since both of you are co-owners, your ex-husband can force the sale of the home through partition lawsuit wherein he'll file a lawsuit so that the court enforces the sale and divides the proceeds between the co-owners.

Know more on how partition lawsuit works before you consult an attorney regarding the filing.

Regards,

Jessica.
