Quit Claim Deed after judgment

[MsCasino]

(Los Angeles, CA) I have an original dissolution judgment filed in June 1996 that in part states: "...the parties will remain tenants-in-common until an agreement is reached to either sell the property or buy the other party out of their investment or until the child reaches 18..."

In 1997 my ex-husband signed a Quit Claim Deed (which was notarized & recorded) and he signed the house over to me. I also reduced his child support from $600 to $500.

I recently filed with the County for back child support and in response my ex-husband is telling me that since our son turned 18 I have to sell the house because that's what our judgment says. I reminded him that he signed a Quit Claim after the judgment and he keeps harrassing me. Could this possibly be true? I've paid the mortgage, taxes and insurance on my own since he left in 1994. Please help! Thank you.

Where does the judgment say that? It says you are to remain t-in-c's until the child is of the age of 18. It doesn't say anything about what happens after that, much less that you must sell the property. Looks to me like you're free to keep it or dispose of it as you wish.
