Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

In Ohio, the divorce court will split up the assets and debts of the marriage in the Divorce Decree that the Court filed in your case. You should read through the decree and you will eventually come to the place where the court orders one party to assume the entire mortgage obligation on the home, either by refinancing it in that party's name or by selling it and paying off the mortgage.

If this has not been done within the time limits set in the Divorce Decree, then you can bring a contempt of court action to force this to happen.
