Can the lenders approve the sell of my home without my permission?
My ex-wife and I bought a house together a few years ago. We since had the marriage annulled. She got the house, including the first and second mortgage. She is now short selling the house without my permission. I signed a quitclaim to the house.

If you signed a quitclaim deed to the house, your ex-wife got the house in the divorce, and she also is the mortgagor (it sounds like you are off the mortgages), then it is unclear why you are callling it "your house"--from what you write, your ex-wife has title to herself (which is all she needs to sell it) and for good measure is the mortgagor. It appears to be her house. If this is the case, then neigher the banks nor your ex-wife need your permission.
