Spousal loan consolidation

[tblckbrn]

Jurisdiction

Ohio

The divorce decree stated that my ex-husband and I were to split our debt. It has been over 8 years and he has not paid one single dime. I have paid all debts off with the exception of the spousal consolidated student loan. A loan advisor said, he (ex-husband) could simply refinance the loan since he is the primary and I am the co-signer. I have been paying on this loan since 2007, he (ex-h) has been in contempt of the divorce decree since 2007.
Can my ex-husband be court ordered to refinance and remove my name from the student loan? Especially, if I have the proper paperwork available in court.

Can my ex-husband be court ordered to refinance and remove my name from the student loan?

Yes.

But the problem is, if he can't qualify then there's nothing that the court can do to make him qualify.

Thanks for your response, it will help me make my decision about moving forward. I am not concerned that he won't qualify. I have already spoke with the loan specialist, and was informed that even if he is unemployed he can refinance at $5.00 monthly. I have recently helped two inmates refinance for $5.00 monthly, so they can be out of default by the time they are released from prison.
