In Missouri, can a judge order me to pay my ex-wife for her portion of our home, in a default judgment.?

Judge declared me in default when I did not show up for court because I assumed my ex-wife would keep her word and hold to the verbal agreement I made with her before she left. After the judgment came back giving her more than we agreed on, I hired a lawyer to file a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment. When that lawyer quit his law firm, the lawyer who took over did not make sure the judge ruled on this within 90 days, and after more than a year. with a new lawyer, the judge denied this motion because of the 90 day limit. Can I satisfy this with a promissory note?
