Q: Ex-wife awarded house in divorce. Mortgage is in my name alone. She pays mortgage payment. Who claims interest on taxes?
I had to file a quit-claim to remove myself from the deed. Ex-wife has 3 years to refinance or sell the house. Until then, the mortgage remains solely in my name although, she pays the monthly payment. Who gets to claim the mortgage interest on our taxes?
