Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Divorce and Real Estate

I've been divorced for approx 7 yrs. When we divorced it is in our papers that when the kids turn 18 and graduate from high school the house is to be sold. I've made the house payment since the divorce. It's always been on time. My wife is not wanting to move and fighting me on this matter.

My question is, can i go back to my attorney and have it stated that she is getting the house in the divorce and my name taken off the mortgage without it hurting my credit.

I know she has bad credit and is not able to make the payments, but i've since remarried and want out from under this. The house has been in her family for decades and my kids that are 19 and 21 still live there with her.

i just want to give her the house, but i don;t want it hurting my credit. is there anything i can do besides sell it in order to get my name off the loan ? Thanks for your time.

If she is unwilling or unable to get the house refinanced in her own name, then the language of the decree controls the situation. If she is unable to handle the financial burden, a foreclosure will make the situation worse.
