You can't.
A court cannot interfer with 3rd party creditors. If they could, commerce in the US would grind to a halt.
You can ask the creditor to remove your name but you can't force a creditor take your name off a loan.
If she has good credit, she can try to re-fianance. Otherwise, you will remain on the loan.
