Areas of Law / Divorce and Family

When I divorced several years ago I agreed to a lower settlement in return for my husband paying to have my name removed from the mortgage. But even though he has remarried I am still on the mortgage. Is there any way I can resolve this?

It’s possible your husband can’t convince the bank that he is able to pay the mortgage on his own, which is why they won’t release you from your obligations. If you had a consent order approved by the court as part of the financial settlement when you divorced, then this should have dealt with this issue and provided timescales for when your ex-husband needed to release you from your obligations. If this is the case then that consent order can be enforced.
