Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I own a house with someone that I have an informal declaration of marriage with. We are no longer together and he lives in the house. I want to buy another home but I will not qualify with the other home still on my credit report. What do I need to do to get off of the loan. Also, he will not qualify for the home on his own.

Only the mortgage company can remove your name off the loan.
I doubt the mortgage company is going to remove your name from the house.
You will need to sell the house.
Since you own 1/2 of the house you can force the sale of the house.
I "predict" that you will need to retain the service of an attorney to make this happen.
