I am the owner of record, along with my ex husband of our home. Ex husband will not refinance home, or take out an equity loan. I need to take a debt consolidation loan and the interest rate is 14.9%. I can't pay that much interest, and I don't feel I should have to. Equity in marital home is approx. 302k, I want to borrow against MY half of equity. IS IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE MY EQUITY OUT? I live in Massachusetts, I don't know if that matters. P.S. This is like a hardship loan, in that I have two kids in college, and I recently lost my job, but was lucky enough to get another one, but unfortunately it is paying only half of what I made. I am working two jobs and still can't make ends meet, so I am not taking a luxury loan, this is survival.

Hi douellette!

Welcome to forums!

You won't be able to take a loan on your portion of the equity in the property. If you want to take a home equity loan, then the lender would take into consideration the whole of the equity that you've on the property. I think you should negotiate with your ex-husband and convince him for the loan.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
