The answer depends on how good (strong) her attorney is and how hard he wants to push you. If I’m her attorney by the time I’m done you will become a true disciple of the “never sign documents with anyone other than your wife” school of thought.
Get the documents prepared, take her out, get her drunk, get her to sign. Or be prepared to pay.
Sorry it’s not better news.

My X is on the title but not on the mortgages. She has not lived here for over 2 years. I’ve paid her a lot of money before she left. Is she intitled to any money? I’m tring to refinance and take her name off the title.

Lesson learned- Next time, she gets the money AFTER she quits her claim on the home. She is on title, she has to sign before a notary to quit her claim. Either way, it will take additional cash to get rid of her. Come up with 10 crisp new 100 dollar bills, bring a Notary and a quitclaim deed to the bar, and see what that will buy you. Next time, The money for the Quit claim. To quote a noble American Military statesman, Bill Murry, in the movie Stripes, “That’s a fact, Jack!”.

you cannot “take” her off title, unless she wants to be taken off title. if she resists, be prepared to bend over or fork over some legal fees to go after her. you probably have a claim for reimbursement for an equitable portion of the debt service, taxes,insurance, upkeep, maintenance, etc.
sorry the news is not better. but lesson learned. you are about the 100th person to hit this listserve with this same fact pattern.
