Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Can I sell the house?

My husband and I bought a new house in PA a year ago. However, because he has very poor credit, the mortgage is in my name only. The deed, though, is in both of our names. I am planning to leave soon. Am I allowed to put the house up for sale without his consent? I want the mortgage out of my name and he does not have the credit to refinance in his name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Can I sell the house?

You can't sell the house because the house is owned by both of you as a married couple. You are not allowed to sell the house nor mortgage it without his consent.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
