I need to start divorce proceedings however i am concerned that i own a house that i no longer live in but is in negative equity and my ex doesn't earn enough on paper to carry on with the mortgage. I have made no financial contributions since we separated two and a half years ago. I would like to legally remove my name form the mortgage. Is it possible to do this during divorce proceedings? Or will I be legally responsible until the property is sold or my ex agrees to buy me out? We have a verbal agreement in place where he pays no maintenance and i no longer pay my half of the mortgage. I really need to move on but this is a massive sticking point - any help or guidance is grateful. Thanks for your help, I'm legally blonde ha ha!
