Not much. The only reason why you were placed on the mortgage is so that the lender can foreclose and obtain title to the property in the event of a default. Signing the mortgage does not convey any ownership interest to you.

Separately, you may have an interest by virute of your marriage. You should consult a local attorney to discuss your legal rights.
