Need help with ex-wife and house

[gamtam]

I divorced my ex 11 years ago and quit claimed the house over to her. She is now being reported as 90 days late on the payments and in the last 5 years she has been late 9 out of every 12 months. My current wife and I are trying to clean up our credit so we can purchase our own home. We told her that we are going to hire an attorney now my ex is saying she does not want the house and will quit claim it back over to me.

This would be great because we could sell it and get it cleared up, but....

A little searching of public records is showing she has 5 judgement liens on the property.

If she quit claims it to me do the liens now become my problem?

What would I have to do to get them off the property?

Thanks

Yes, the liens become your problem and you would have to pay them to get rid of them.

I though there couldn't be any transaction on the property until the liens are addressed... or is that just for the sale of the property???

That's kinda what I was trying to say. They have to be paid for the property to change hands. (I think)

No wonder she is trying to do this.

We thought it was to good to be true.

I will decline and have an attorney handle this in court. We didn't want the house anyway but thought if we could get it from her and make payments for a period of time we could get my credit good again.

This really sucks. The divorce papers even stated that she was to stay current with payments etc... or it would no longer be considered a divorce matter.

Thanks
