Worried

[Sunshine8 1]

hi , my husband used his house as asset for the affidavit of support but when he went to the courthouse, the title still has his ex-wife's name on it cos the judge forgot to forward the divorce decree to the title office so it wasnt change yet. But the judge has a court order letter that says the ex-wife has no right of the house ownership anymore once the divorce is final cos it's a quitclaim deed.

I'm just worried will that create a problem during the interview at the manila embassy if ever the consul will see the title still has the ex-wife's name in it as co-owner? Pls help, thanks

he needs to get that quit claim deed filed ASAP. hopefully it is the original or the recorder won't take it. I don't know what the embassy will say about it, or if they will even know, but just in general he needs to record that deed. trust me, i work in title insurance and i see problems like this all the time from divorces. if he can't get the original he needs to get a new deed and record a certified copy of the divorce decree awarding him the property.

Why would he claim the house? Does he not meet the income requirement? Seems like claiming extra assets can cause extra trouble, case-in-point.

How long will it take to file quitclaim deed to get the sole name on the title? like weeks or days? does the ex-wife need to sign it or not anymore?

Yes my husband didn't meet the required income thats why he's using his assets, we have a co-sponsor too.

Maybe they took a couple years off work, and traveled or did whatever. They may own tons of assets and just decided to take a vacation from work for a little while.

I have seen this many times in my life.......
