|
|
| My ex-husband of 3yrs now and I have a home that did not sell about the time that the market crashed. We have managed to keep up the payments but cannot sell because the value is less that what we owe. I have wanted to get off the mortgage for the past 3yrs, since I have relocated out of state. I am told the only way to get out of the mortgage is to sell or have him refinance in his own name. The problem is that he is now unemployed and has no way of refinancing. The house is currently being leased but the renter was in a serious accident and now in a coma for the last 2 mths. The payments are still being made but I don't know for how long. How do I get out of this mess without totally destroying what is left of my poor credit with my ex from 3 yrs ago. |

Hi sandicordsen!
Welcome to forums!
It is true that if you want to remove your name from the mortgage, then your ex-husband will have to refinance the loan in his name. But as he is unemployed, it would be difficult for him to refinance the loan. Both of you can list the property in the market and check out if you can get buyers for the property. This will be a better way to dispose off your property.
You may even apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. It will help you in getting rid of the property but your credit score would get lowered by 250 points.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
