Been divorced over a yr. Haven’t seen the child in almost 8 months. Behind on child support. But yesterday after I asked if my son still had insurance because he isn’t working it was brought up that I haven’t refinanced the house that was signed over to me. Is there anything he can do

In Mississippi. Yes. The agreement said I had 90 days to refinance or he gets it. I didn’t refinance within the 90 days. Nothing was said until yesterday. He is remarried.
