In the divorce decree, I was awarded the house and my ex-husband kept his business. The decree states I have a year to refinance and remove his name from the deed. I am close to completing this when I discover a lien on the property from my ex-husband's poor credit, which was not disclosed during the divorce. The lien dates back three years and puts him in contempt. The rate lock deadline for my refinance is approaching, and I need to know my options to resolve this issue quickly.
