My STBX and I own our home. Both of our names are on the mortgage, but we used his name as the principal when buying b/c he had a better credit score. The house is on my family’s land (which was a gift) so I do not want to sell it. I am trying to re-finance in my name alone, but STBX is “threatening” not to sign the mortgage. Do I have any options to make him sign? Thanks!
