Mortgage and Prenuptial

[TWarner]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
I signed a prenuptial agreement the first time I married my husband. We were married 16 years and during that time he refinanced his home twice and I co- signed on both loans and we also did a second mortgage. We divorced in Oct 2010 and remarried in Dec 2010 without a prenuptial the second time. My husband has decided to refinance the the first and 2nd mortgage into one loan. He has informed me that he can refinance by himself without me rather I approve or not due to the prenuptial from the first marriage. Is this possible?

I don't see how your prenup would have any bearing on this at all. Quite simply: he can refi the mortgage anytime he wishes.
why would you even care if he refinances the mortgages and in doing so, removes the liability you now have?

Tell us what the prenup says on that subject. Word for word but without the names. Without knowing what it says, it would be foolish to speculate on whether he can do something or not.

Who was awarded the home in the divorce? Does the divorce decree grant him sole possession and responsibility of the house/mortgage? If so, the divorce papers could aid him in getting the house refinanced without your approval. HOWEVER, you have a dower right in the home and most likely you would need to sign papers due to that right.
