Hi lizsundevil!

Welcome to forums!

The house was awarded to your ex-wife but did your wife refinance the mortgage in her name? I think she has not refinanced the mortgage and the mortgage is still in your name. You can ask your ex-wife to refinance the mortgage. Then I don't think the mortgage company will harass you for payments.

Thanks.

You are on the mortgage and signed the contract to pay - I dont think the court award to the wife removes you from that you need to have her refinance it in her name only to get you off the loan.
