Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

My name on deed but not on mortgage

My husband and I bought a house 2 years ago. We have since split up and are going through a divorce. I do not want the house or any possible equity out of it. I simply want out. What financial obligations do I have since my name is only on the deed and not on the mortgage? We live in Maryand.
