In non-judicial states such as Washington an action to quiet title can be used to challenge lenders or trustees who no longer own an interest in a borrowers property. It is an extremely complex legal action and is costly to pursue. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in that type of lawsuit. The attorney needs to perform preliminary research to determine whether or not you have a legitimate cause of action. If so, further research in public records, and possibly non-public records, must be performed to document your case.
A quiet title action requires an abundance of evidence that supports your claim to ownership. It is a complex and specialized area of law. Therefore, it is important that you find an attorney who is an expert in the law of real property and quiet title actions. You should make an initial appointment to discuss your claim and determine what your options are. You should bring with you any evidence that explains the problem with your title and also any evidence you have that supports your claim of ownership.

Those are not either/or legal terms. A lis pendens is a notice to the world that a lawsuit is pending, such as a quiet title action, that affects the title to real estate. You file the quiet title action and record a lis pendens in the land records to let any future buyers know that you have a claim against the real estate. The practices vary in different states so you should consult with an attorney in your state.

This depends on who signed the mortgage document in question, and the date on which the document was signed. If you did not sign the mortgage, and the mortgage was filed after your divorce, you may have a claim to file a quiet title lawsuit (including a lis pendens). However, I'm not sure why title to the house was not decided during the divorce. Because this is a complicated matter, I suggest you consult an attorney (look in the phonebook for a lawyer who gives free consultations).
A quiet title action can only "quiet" liens or claims that have been made a part of the quiet title action. Usually that type of action involves an old but still active lien or mortgage that was paid but was not discharged as of record. Quiet title actions cover a very broad category and may vary in different state jurisdictions. You should consult with an attorney about your particular case. If you wish to wipe out unpaid liens and mortgages through a quiet title action forget about it.

You should retain a real estate attorney licensed by the Tennessee State Bar Association. He or she will be familiar with the legal process and will guide you every step of the way. You can also represent yourself, however, I do not recommend that under any circumstances (unless you are a lawyer).
