    Get a lawyer, or at least tell her that you got a lawyer. And tell her if she doesn't take your name off it, you gonna sue her and the house back. Maybe she will be scared and back off.

    Why do you believe her? Save yourself the aggravation. Let your attorney deal with her attorney (if she even has an attorney). Most attorneys have free consultation and don't collect unless you win. Pick up the Yellow Pages.

    Here we go:

    http://www.thinkglink.com/Quitclaim_Deed_Does_Not_Change_Mortgage.htm

    You transferred your ownership interest but remained on the mortgage or deed of trust. The only way you can remove your name from the mortgage or deed of trust is for your ex-wife to refinance the home and get a new loan in her name alone. You can attempt to contact the lender and have your name removed, but that rarely if ever works. Of course, if your ex-wife sells the home and pays off the lender, your name would finally be off the loan.

    Your best bet is to work with your ex-wife and use any good will generated by the transfer of your interest in the home to her to convince her to refinance the loan and take you off the old mortgage.

    But she can't get financing right? Uh oh.

    I'm no attorney, nor do I play one on TV, but it sounds like you are in a really crappy situation. It appears that you've quit-claimed your interest in the real property, and it is now solely in her name. However, your name is still on the mortgage. The lender is not required, and they most certainly will not elect to remove your responsibility from the mortgage. That only raises their risk. So you are stuck with the obligation. I don't believe you have any legal recourse against your ex either to force her to try and seek a refinance. You will essentially be on this note until such time as she sells the house or refinances the note. If she defaults, she will mess up both her credit and yours. The only good news is that the longer she stays in the house (assuming she pays the note on time), the more equity she will build and the less likely she is to default. The bad news is that if she falls on hard times, she can take you down with her. Maybe some of the other guys here can offer you more hope, but it sounds like you're gonna have to live with a little less peace of mind for a while.

    You broke up with her. Hopefully you screwed her before she screwed you.

    I think it would be better to push her to refinance.

    You should only hand over your keys as a last resort. If you do hand over the keys, your debt will probably increase and it will be more difficult to get a mortgage in the future

    Even if you hand back your keys, you will still have to pay your mortgage until your lender sells your home

    By the way, dont take her word for it that your name is off the deed. Double check it.
