Hello Williams.

Welcome to the forums.

You cannot take your wife out of the deed unless and until she signs a quitclaim deed. BTW if you want to take her off from the mortgage then you need to refinance the loan on your name. But only if the mortgage company approves for that. So consult with the lending institution ASAP.

You should try to refinance with your wife's current credit scores, even if they are low. When you are married, it is best to try and do this transaction together. Typically, if your wife's credit is too low, the bank will let you know b4 moving forward in the process.

If this happens, they will continue the loan process, using only your credit - just make sure that both of your names are on the deed/title vesting.

the key question is this: how low is low?

once again, with fha financing, you may stand a good chance to refinance and not have to worry so much about her score.

You can refinance in just your name if you qualify with your income and obligations. Talk to a loan officer about this option to determine if this is possible. If you will qualify on just your income, this is the best way to go. Also, you can still keep her name on title even if she is not on the mortgage.
