How do i get my name off of a mortgage loan.

John W. Havins
Answered by attorney John W. Havins (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Havins & Associates, PC
You asked:  How do i get my name off of a mortgage loan.Additional Details:when the ex and i filed for divorce, i gave her the house along with the mortgage loan. the judge stated she was responsible for the loan and she filed a quick claim deed, however chase manhatten does not recognize this and refuses to take my name off of the mortgage. now i cant qualify for a loan because my name is already on her loan. how do i get my name off the loan I am a Michigan attorney, and would recommend that you talk to a local attorney; however, I believe I can give you some guidance.  A Judgment of Divorce cannot change the contract you have with the mortgage lender.  Even though the Judgment of Divorce may award the house to your ex-wife along with the debt obligation, If she fails to pay the mortgage, you could be sued, but you would have the right to seek reimbursement from your ex-wife.  I usually include in the Judgments I prepare a provision that the person receiving the house gets the debt, and must refinance the debt into his/her name within 90 days.  Once she refinances, then you would not longer be obligated on the debt.  You should check your Judgment of Divorce to see if that provision is included.  If so, and if your ex-wife refuses to refinance, then you may have to file a motion seeking help from the Court.

Do we have to annul the first marriage and remarry to validate our marriage if I remarried 2 months before receiving divorce decree?

Answered by attorney John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
I would suggest that you engage an attorney to try to straighten this out. Your actual problem is that if you are not divorced, you could not remarry, and therefore your second marriage may be considered to be void. As for immigration, any known mistake can be fatal to your application.

What do I need to do to get him out?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Helene Ellenbogen P.S.
You need to deal with this the only possible way. File a divorce or legal separation. The make a motion for temporary orders asking the court to require him to make the mortgage payments for the period he lived there and leave by a date certain. He has 3 years of equitable interest in the house since you were married and presumably paid the mortgage during that time with funds earned during the marriage which are, by definition, community property. Get a lawyer. Your private arrangements obviously and predictably didn't work. You need to deal with this in an adult fashion, with legal authority.
