Help with divorce papers and real estate question. Who owns the house?

Question by sagehawk0685: Help with divorce papers and real estate question. Who owns the house?
This comes directly from the divorce papers:

“An appraisal shall be done to determine the value of the real property, and Petitioner and Respondent shall each pay one-half the cost of the appraisal. Petitioner is awarded the real property, subject to Respondents lien on the real property for the amount of one-half of the appraised value of the home, which amount Petitioner shall pay to respondent upon the first of the following to occur: Petitioner remarries or cohabitates, or vacates the home, OR parties’ youngest child graduates in due course from high school or attains 18 years of age, whichever later occurs.”

Appraisal was never done on the home and there is no lien on the home. It says that petitioner is awarded the real property, does that mean it is the petitioners. Help me understand this please. Is it saying that the petitioner has a lien against the home owed to the respondent. When this divorce occurred there was no bank loan on the house, it has been completely paid for.

I’m trying to help a friend in need right now with some issues that are occurring with the ex demanding rent money for the house.
Also assume that the youngest child is graduated and past 18
Also, according to what i read, in order for there to be an actual “lien” there must be a deed, a note and a deed of trust (or mortgage). None of this ever occurred.

nobody owns the property, do they? that’s how I’m reading it.

What do you, objectively, think of Jesus (whether you think him real, real and distorted or just made up)?

Obviously he’s an improvement on say, Moses. Do you think that he was indeed a moral philosopher ahead of his time, a moral philosopher ahead of his time whose message was distorted or a made up character whith some redeeming qualities (or not, if that’s your position) and why?

The key word here is objectively. Basically means acting in an objective manner, taking an objective approach.

Objective as defined by http://www.thefreedictionary.com/objective

a. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic.
b. Based on observable phenomena; presented factually: an objective appraisal.
Damn! I thought it was typo free.
I rather doubt the J-man would take kindly to an atheist such as myself.
