If you are on title, your remedy is an action in partition to force a sale by the court.

You cannot just get your name off the mortgage unless the bank or mortgagor allows you to be removed. A partition action will only provide for a forced sale of the property. you remain responsibility for paying and satisfying the mortgage. Seek some legal guidance with all your paperwork.
