Ex- Not Paying Mortgage

[klmccreary]

What is the name of your state? OK. The ex twice I might add. We married and divorce now on the first divorce she got the house. The mortgage is in both of our names we re-married. Nothing was ever done about the first divorce. We have divorced again the house is still hers but the mortgage is still in both names. I have asked her to refinance this house in her own name but she has not doneit. We went back to court and the judge has order her to make the payments. What can I do to get this done or try to attempt to get this done without going back to court? Oh by the way the mortgage company is holding this over my head because I am in the middle of construction loan with the same company. Please help......

If the judge has ordered her to make the payments and she has not, then she is in contempt of court.

What you could do (and I don't know if this will work) is ask the court to order the house sold.

But, in any event, you are still liable for the mortgage and should be making payments to protect your credit.

If the judge ordered it sold, then he can have the sheriff or some appointed commissioner sign the actual deed.
