Answer

Sometimes it is easier to address these type of post divorce issues with competent legal counsel. Ex spouses sometimes want to drag things out because they do not qualify to re-finance the property on their own because they have credit issues/income. If you would like to discuss several options to remove your name from the mortgage, please feel free to contact Stephanie Coulter of this office at 602 462 1004 and she can make arrangements to have me take a look at your divorce decree and have a telephone conference to discuss options to your particular real estate issue.
