Exwife resides in residence he's responsible for

harris county, texas

my boyfriend's ex-wife is residing in the residence purchased before their marriage, she is on the title, but not the loan. the court awarded her the residence to reside in, but the mortgage has remained in his name. she claims that she can not finance the property in her name and has been late numerous times with the payments. he want to purchase a home but the existing debt is affecting his ability to purchase the home. what, if anything, is his recourse in this situation?

Review the divorce decree and the property distribution agreement.

It merely states that she is to reside in the residence. If she defaults on the loan he has the option to take posession of the property. Is there any way to have him removed from the loan?

Something does not seem right.
She cannot default on the loan because she is not on the loan.
She needs to buy the property from him and get her own loan.
