MA - my friend is divorced - his ex-wife has the house, but his name is still on the mortgage - he quit claimed the home to her, but she is behind on the payments, and will not refinance the home in her name. he does not want any of the equity, just his name off the mortgage. without a long legal battle, is there any hope for him?

My response:

Not without her voluntarily refinancing the house loan into her own name, or by suing her for "Partition" to have a court force her to either refinance it, or to sell the house.
