Dear kc1976: Greetings. Your husband will need to refinance and then you will need to sign a quit claim deed. Do not sign the deed until the date he is refinancing. I would also advise that you amend the separation agreement to include what will happen to the house. If you file for divorce without dealing with the house, you will lose the right to equitable distribution. Thank you. Janet L.

My husband & I are ready to file for divorce. We’ve been separated over 2 years. We have a separation agreement that includes everything but the house & we want to include the house. He’s planning on buying me out, but we don’t know what to do to get my name off the mortgage. Our separation has been amicable & I don’t see anything about that changing. (There are no children involved.) Thanks!
