Still on the Loan

  My wife and I divorce and she stayed in the home that we bought 6 years ago. I would like to get my own house but I'm still on the loan. Can I get my name off the mortgage without her having to refinance on the loan
 
  Contact the lending institution.  Sometimes they'll agree to relieve you of liability if your ex can prove she's been carrying the payments on her own.  You'd need her cooperation of course.
