Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Getting Name Removed from Mortgage

This should have been done during the divorce. What does your PSA say about it?

Re: Getting Name Removed from Mortgage

It will depend on what the divorce settlement says, but you should be able to get him to refinance, or to sell the house. Your credit should not be tied up forever.

You can file a motion to require him to refinance. Given the low interest rates for a mortgage this seems quite feasible.

Call me if you like.

Re: Getting Name Removed from Mortgage

What type of interest do you have in the property, is it a tenancy in common, by the entirety, etc?

You may need to file to have the property partitioned.

You should also have the co-owner buy you out of the property.
