We are in different states so different laws - but here in Virginia we did a very similar thing. We were told that we needed a title company to do it when in fact we didn't. A friend of my wife's who is a paralegal dug up the paperwork for us - we filled it out - and went to the county clerks office and filed. Done deal.
Any way - worth a shot. Hope it all works out for you soon.

I;ll check into that. Thanks, anything is worth checking out at this point.
I did talk to the judge's assistant today and explained to her what we were up against, and just like that we are on the court docket for a hearing later in the month. What the crap am I paying an attn for? Isn't that something he should have done a couple month's ago? that's the kinda crap that makes me loopy.
