In California, after a divorce, how much time do you have to dispute or contest a marital settlement agreement (MSA)? The wife was given the home as part of the settlement but now, 18 months later when she is trying to refinance, her ex- won't sign a quit claim deed to remove himself from the title. There is no deadline in the MSA for the issuance of a quitclaim deed. The husband says that he is now going to go back to court and try to keep a share of the home.
