Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Divorce and the Marital Home

I've been divorced for 15 yrs. NJ Superior court papers allowed for my ex to retain 100% of the marital home. Mutual agreement stated that I have no legal right or interest in the property. However, my name was never removed from the mortgage and there was never a refi. Now late pays and foreclosures on the property by my ex are destroying my credit. Can I file a motion to force my ex to refi in order to get my name off this property? This activity has and is causing me serious harm and damage. Thank you
