So by your question I have to assume that he gets the house.. By him refinancing or paying off the mortgage, he can remove your name from the obligation.. There is no other way to remove you from this loan... I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

You can have your husband refinance and you will have to sign a quit claim deed at or prior to the closing on his refinance.

I reccommed that he refinance the property. Many attorney' suggest that you sign a quit claim deed however you then have a contingent liability. Not so good for you.Let me know if I can be of further assistance.Curtis

That is correct the only way to remove your self from the liability is to have him refinance in his name only.
