In most places, this will be difficult.
The ex must agree to the sale and the mortgage company must be paid off.
Depending on your state, there may be certain ways to do this, but you really need the services of an attorney.
Good luck, I think you need it. You may want to rent the house out to cover the mortgage for a while until you can get things cleared up enough to sell it.

hmm well thats difficult as my partner and i havea joint mortgage topo and i want a divorce hmm let me think well basically to sell a house it has to be a freehold so you will still have to pay the mortgage off completely till it is freehold or you will have to rent the property out to a tenant and live somewhere else to help pay it or you can give rooms to lodgers in your home to help you. the only thing i can suggest is to contact the estate agent you bought the house from and the mortgage company you went to . If you do try to sell your home even though it is mortgaged because you havea debt on the house that will take priority. The house will need to be valued plus depending on how much off the mortgage you have paid the proceeds ogf the sale will go towards paying the debt and you may not have much left from it to buy another property . so if i were you get some financial advice

Firstly never say never, i am in the process of getting a separation after 22 yrs of marriage and let me tell you that if you can prove that you have paid the mortgage then you have more rights than yr ex, secondly the courts can make them sign the property over to you, thirdly go and research your rights just as i have law books are a good place to start, then get your self a good solicitor one that specialises in these things, good luck

You need your Ex's signature to agree to the sale. Contact her and explain that the property is becoming a noose around your neck. Probably the thought of half of the proceeds from the sale of the house will spur her on to agreeing to the sale. And she is entitled to half even if she has not been paying her dues.
All ther best and seek legal advice before your get yourself into any debt.

i've got faith this falls below the abandoned belongings rule. in case you are able to teach to a lawyer or choose which you have been looking after each and everything and he has no longer executed something then you definitely could desire to get to maintain what you have. yet you will possibly ought to coach that he abandoned and would not pay. i might certainly get a lawyer nevertheless, there is not any doubt approximately that. sturdy good fortune and that i wish each and everything works out for you!

If they're on the mortgage, they're on the title, and she would be entitled to half the proceeds. Sorry Charlie. You need a lawyer if you expect it to work otherwise.

your stuck and have to have your ex sign off on it or just stop paying on it and let the bank go after her too. no one will win and she can't sell from under you either. get your lawyer to look into it and see what they can do otherwise. the only peeps that can do anything is have the bank forclose and lose it and it will ruin her credit too

She has to come to the closing and sign the paperwork. Unless she agrees to sell it to you, then you can sell it once you get her name off the mortgage. I just did this...believe me, she has to sign it.

You can sell the house, but you should seek legal advice.

She needs to sign a quit claim deed, or she will need to sign the paperwork when it is sold.
