Ex is ordered to refinance, but it seems he will be unable. What are my options?
In our dissolution, ex was given the house and ordered to refinance in 1 year. He seems to have no intention to follow through on this court order. I know I can take him to court, but what will happen?

Not sure. Why was he ordered to refinance? In other words, was part of the order to take equity out to buy you out? Not sure.
So, what does your divorce attorney think? If your ex cannot obtain a refinance, try going back to court to seek a separate order or perhaps the court will order an alternative route?
If you don't have a lawyer, contact the court directly and see if there is a conciliation/mediation office. If not, try www.attorneypages.com or your local legal aid to help you. Curious, what does your ex say? Is he worried he will be in contempt of court?
