So if anyone is still wondering... I got a call from the ex's father yesterday. He was able to pin him down, get him to sign it and have it notarized, and is dropping it off to the lawyer in the mail today. I suppose all I need to do now is sign my end, have them notarize it, and they'll file it with the city/clerk to update the paperwork on their end. This process was MUCH easier and smoother than expected, but that's ALL thanks to his father who was incredibly kind, helpful, and determined to get this taken care of for me. I am thankful to everyone here for your advice and well wishes. Now onward and upward from here.
That's good news. Congratulations.
(There's probably nothing that you'll need to sign relating to the Quit Claim Deed--signatures are required of Grantors. Just have your lawyer make sure that it gets recorded and you should be good to go...er, sell.)
Glad to hear this! Please consider doing something nice for the father - even if it's just a nice thank you note. Knowing how his son lives is causing him A LOT of emotional pain.
(Just had a thought. If you have a nice photo of the son, from before he went off the rails, consider putting it in a nice frame and giving it to dad as a thank you gift.)

Yes! I definitely plan to send him a thank you. And his wife (the ex's mother) has been battling cancer for about 2-3 years now, so on top of dealing with his son's issues, I was surprised he got it done for me so quickly. His parents were always so good to me, losing them as a second family was really the biggest loss. I am forever grateful to him for helping me with this so fast. He said, "It's just one more thing you have hanging over your head that keeps you up at night so we needed to get that off the list." What an awesome person he is.
This would have been settled in a divorce settlement.
Someone stated there was no marriage.
As Judge Judy says to unwed couples who break up.........." we have a system in place to divide up properties after a divorce. People who are " almost married"....." don't believe in marriage"...." just want to play house ".......then want solutions from courts after they break up.
Yes, indeed !
From what the OP has posted, it was wise for her to not marry him.

Yes it was. The lawyer actually said the fact that we were NOT married made it easier in several ways, but I won't get into it. It was definitely a wise choice for me to bow out before I did something so stupid. I knew better. It just took me too long to get out of it, but that's another story.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes.
My relationship with my sons father was similar. Not being married when we split is the only thing that allowed me to come out unscathed.
