Q: My husband left me six years ago for another woman i need his name off the deed of my home it my home it paid for i
A:
If his name is on the deed to the house, it's legally also his home too. If he won't voluntarily agree to execute a new deed to you without his name, then you're going to have to file for divorce and ask the court for assistance and equitable distribution of marital property. That would include distribution of the house and all associated paperwork like deed changes.
I do practice family law in Delaware County, so if you'd like to discuss your situation in further detail, feel free to contact me offsite. Best of luck to you.
