Ex-Spouse Sandbagging on Mortgage

Candice Packard
Posted

Hello,

I'm looking for help. My abusive ex husband was awarded one of our properties. We leased that home out to Section 8. The rent payments once came to me and I paid the mortgage with that rent. He took the Mediation Agreement for our divorce to the section 8 office and submitted a new Form 1099 to the office that now has the rent payments coming to him. He is pocketing the rent payments and not paying the mortgage with those payments. Unfortunately, my name is still on the mortgage. I am trying to see two things. 1. How do I remove my name from the mortgage while we wait for the final divorce decree (if that's even possible)? 2. How do I protect myself from him sandbagging on the mortgage while I wait for the final divorce decree? I believe that the VA loan is in my name. I believe need a final divorce decree in order for him to assume the loan, but I don't think he will do that because he is am trying to finally abuse me. Thanks for any help.
