Mortgage advice

This is my first post so not sure if I’m doing right thing. 
I currently have mortgage with my ex which has £104,000 left pay £420 a month. House estimated at £220,000. I currently have loan which has £9980 left for approx 2 1/2 years left at £288 a month and credit card with about £8000 on it. I earn £33000 a year. Currently don’t have any spare cash each month therefore using credit card. If get rid of debts would be approx £450 better off a month. 
I would like to get an extension to allow for bigger 3rd bedroom as children getting bigger. 

So do I try to get ex off my mortgage and go on my own but that will probably mean no extension. 
Do I look at getting more equity on my mortgage for extension and to clear all my debts or can I leave mortgage as it is and then get large loan for extension and debts?
thanks
