My and my wife are talking about getting a divorce (uncontested). The only thing we own Jointly is the House. I want her to get the house in the divorce and have my name removed from it. I want to agree to pay her the amount of her mortgage every month. Is this possible?
Normally, the way to get your name removed is to have her refinance. The mortgage company is not going to release you from the obligation unless she refinances in her sole name.

You have to pick one of you.
If the spouse that has ownership refuses to refinance to remove the other parties name, what can be done? Also in 2014 the ownership added another person to a separate quit claim deed but not mortgage. What do i do to remove myself from financial responsibilities.
This depends on what your divorce says. The divorce decree has to require that the other person remove you from the mortgage. If so, that provision can be enforced.
