Texas.
Ex-wife and I got divorced a year and a half ago. While married, we bought a house in both of our names. When we got divorced, she kept the house and we did a deed-of-trust saying the property was hers. Unfortunately, that didn't affect our FHA mortgage loan, which still has my name on it. They say that the only way to get my name off is to sell it or she can refinance it into her name.
Problem is this: I want my name off the mortgage. I thought she was going to live there, but within a few months of the divorce, she moved in with her boyfriend and is now just renting the house out. It's been over a year since she's lived in it. Do I have any legal recourse? Can I maybe sue her somehow and force her to sell the house or to refinance into her name? I desperately want my name off that mortgage.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
