X-wife not signing over deed after judge ordering house sold

Guest 0.10 Dollars($)

In my settlement with my ex-wife, the judge ordered our house to be sold (Texas- community property state). My ex-wife is on the deed but not on the loan. He also ordered that the equity from the house would be used to pay off the joint debt. I have a contract on the house (it's sold) and my ex-wife is refusing to sign over the deed or sign a quit claim deed. What can be done to proceed with the sale of the house as the judge ordered?

Welcome Justice,

I suppose that the house is sold but perhaps you haven't signed on the papers yet. I mean probably you haven't signed on the property deed in order to convey the title. And your ex-wife doesn't want to sign. Well in that case, just remind her of the court order and if she doesn't agree you always have a chance to appeal to the court for help so that the home is sold off as the judge ordered. And obviously you need to talk to an attorney who'll guide you on how to proceed with the appeal.

Get back in front of the judge and have him force her to. If she has been oredered isnt she in contempt?
Not a lawyer but thats my guess.
