Legal Question in Family Law in California
In our divorce decree it specifically states that my ex husband and I had to remove our names from all joint accounts. The only account which my ex husband did not remove my name from is the one from the bank in which he's paying his house loans off. I've asked him several times to remove my name from the loan but he hasn't done anything about it.
I proactively contacted the bank, explained my situation and asked what can be done about this. They told me that in order for my name to be removed from said loan my ex husband would have to fill out some bank forms which they would send to his house. Other then sending these forms, the bank said there was nothing more they could do to force him to remove my name.
It's been over a year now since my ex received the bank forms and he still has not filled out and submitted the forms.
I suspect he has purposely kept my name on the loan as a tax write off. Is there anyway of finding out if that's what he's been doing, and if so, what legal recourse do I have with this?

Removing your name from bank accounts is very different than taking your name off of a real estate loan. You should consider filing a request for order to resolve the issue of the loan.
As I have told you several times before and as Ms. Koch has now told you as well, the only method to force your ex to deal with this is to file a motion with the court. Stop abusing this free service by asking the same question over and over again.
