My ex-husband and I divorced in 2011. I wanted to get my name off the mortgage as soon as possible to purchase a new home of my home. I gave up the house. Without having to go put forth money at that moment, because he didn't have any, no job, and other deep personal reasons, someone told him of a Quite Claim Deed. I signed that document thinking that it would free me legally. He did say that he would get the house refinanced later when he could afford it. It's been over 2 years. 3-4 jobs later that he has had, and remarried, and he still hasn't refinanced. He has missed a payment. It is effecting my credit score. I am trying to get my credit cleaned up. His financial habits still haunt me. I am trying so hard to get rid of any connection I have with him. What options are out there to free me of this mortgage? I don't want to tear the house from him only because 3 of my 4 kids still live in the home with him. If my kids didn't live there, I would have ripped it from him and he would have nothing. Can you advise of what options I have either way? Can I take over the house even though I signed the quitclaim deed? Can I get a court order for him to refi the house? what else?
