Cincinnati, OH asked in Real Estate Law and Divorce for Ohio

Q: How do I get off this mortgage I am apparently not even on?

My husband and I are going through dissolution. My attorney found out today I am apparently on the warranty deed and original mortgage document filed with the county for the home we both thought was only in my exs name. Atty says to get me off the loan, My ex will have to refinance or sell the property. I don't want him to have to do that. I called the loan company to see if they would release me from the loan but they won't speak to me because I am not on the loan according to them. The original mortgage was sold to a new servicer so I can't talk to them either. How do I fix this?
