I am going through a divorce. My soon to be ex husband bought a house right after we were married. The house is in his name only as my credit was not good enough at the time for me to be on the mortgage. He is asking that I pay for it too in the divorce. Can he do this? Will I be held responsible?

Hi Guest,

As your name is not on the mortgage or on the property deed, you shouldn't be held responsible for the mortgage. Your husband cannot force you to pay the mortgage dues. You can contact your lawyer and take the required steps against him.

Absolutely.

Not just Texas in any other state, if your name is not on the mortgage then you are not laible to pay the mortgage

Unless your name is on the property and you want a shre in the property
