Assuming that you have an obligation to pay your ex-spouse alimony, that obligation does not end because she failed to refinance the home. You need to bring a complaint for contempt in the probate and family court if she has failed to refinance pursuant to a divorce decree/separation agreement. Please feel free to contact my office 617-357-4898.
