Name removal from mortgage/title deeds

Hi, I've been divorced for 18 years but have just found out my name is still on the mortgage of my ex husband. I thought after the divorce this would get removed by my ex.
How can I get my name taken off. I have no interest in any equity or the house. I have moved on and am now happy.
Thanks in advance.

    Your ex needs to get a mortgage in their sole name, you sign a transfer of equity form.  Unfortunately getting a divorce doesn't allow the lender to remove your liability for the debt on the property.

    Have you spoke to your ex about this?

    Write and ask your ex to commence proceedings for you to be removed.
