Removing the ex

Bonzos_mum · 2024-08-20 11:07:51

HI, 16 years ago when I got divorced the court order stated he had to remove his name from the mortgage, he never bothered so for the last 15 years I have been trying to do so but they say they cannot remove him as they do not have the policy or process in place. Surely a court order shoule mean they have too remove him?

Sorry about that, sounds like a nightmare. They won't remove him unless you're able to carry a mortgage on your own (or with a partner they approve of). Could you sell the house and downsize? How much mortgage can you afford on your own?
