Ex-wife refuses to sign quit claim deed

[H.M Herman]

This case involved an Florida property which was assigned to me by a Spanish court, me (Dutch origin) and my ex-wife (Algerian origin) had gone through a divorce in Spain, which took years, finally we agreed on de splitting of the properties we have in Spain and in Florida, the Spanish court agreed on the dividing plan and had it set up as a court ruling, so in case one of us two have second thoughts or are not compliant, we will be in trouble, now in Spain they have a system that in case you have a court ruling at hand, you can go to the city clerk and have the property registered under your name WITHOUT the other spouse being present, nor have to sign any paperwork, HOWEVER, in my case, i have been assigned the Florida house, but my ex-wife ignored the court order and went back to Algeria, so there is no way that she will sign any quit claim deed, cause in a normal situation, we both should have gone to the US embassy, with witnesses and there the US notary watch us both sign the deed.
But what can i do now?
Anybody have an solution?
Please advise.

You've got two options.

One is to get a lawyer well versed in international law who will probably have to avail himself of further legal counsel in Algeria, which may or may not be able to compel her to comply.

You can get a lawyer in Florida to initiate a quiet title suit given all your other court documents to remove her interest in the property.
