Re: removal of name

You start by hiring a private detective to find your ex. I suspect that the problem isn't removing his name from the mortgage, which can be done by refinancing or otherwise paying off the house, the problem is removing his name from the deed.

The only way to do that is to have him sign he house over to you or to file a partition action on the house and have it sold (which could have been done as part of the divorce).
