Getting off mortgage after divorce

Hello - my husband and I have been married for 9 years but he is still on the mortgage with his ex-wife and their previous marital home.  He moved in with me 13 years ago and his children are now in their mid 20’s, do not live with his ex-wife for a long time and his mortgage is interest only, now being paid by his son as his ex-wife reports she is not working and cannot take the mortgage on her own.  We want to move and get him off the mortgage as he can’t get another residential mortgage product as he’s already on his ex.  The mortgage is £120k and the house where his ex-wife lives is worth £190-£200k.  Her elderly mother lives with her although her mother has her own home close by that she rents out to my husbands son & girlfriend.  My husbands ex wife refuses to sell but it’s hindering us trying to get another house and move.  Can anyone help?
