Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

final divorce judgement

My ex-husband was granted custody of our youngest son, home and property. One of the paragraphs in my final divorce papers states...when our youngest son turns 21 yrs. old my ex-husband will pay me $10,000 for the equity I had in the home and property, at that time I am to sign a Quit Claim Deed. My ex-husband wants me to sign this now, our son is only 17 yrs. old. If I sign the Quit Claim Deed will my ex still be held by law to pay me the $10,000 in 4-yrs.?

It would be extremely foolish to pay that without getting the money as your odds of collecting would likely be flushed down the toilet. The obvious answer to give him is "No."
