Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
I divorced my ex-wife about a year and a half ago, and the judge awarded me possession of the house. I have since remarried, and I would like to remove my ex from the mortgage loan/deed so I can add my new wife. What would be the easiest way to go about achieving this?

Your divorce lawyer should have taken care of the deed. On the mortgage, the only way to remove ex is to re-finance. I have never seen a mortgage company willingly release a person from liability.
