Recently divorced, ex-wife retained the house and is now refinancing. She handed me a quit-claim deed to sign in order to do so.
Everything I have read on quit-claim deeds says by doing so, I relinquish rights to any claim on the property, however in the divorce decree, upon refinance or remarrying, co-habitation, etc, I am entitled to 1/2 equity in the property.
My question, by signing the quit-claim deed, do I give up my claim for 1/2 of the equity upon refinance or sale of the home?
If so, how do we get around this?
