    Talking Ex Filed Bancruptcy After Divorce on House

    My ex filed bancruptcy on our house that we had together. We agreed for him to get the house, however 4 years after the divorce I found out my name is still on the house with the mortgage company. And the bancruptcy is active? Can I get the house back since my name is still on there if not what do I need to do

    Default Re: Ex Filed Bancruptcy After Divorce on House

    what did the divorce orders say to the mortgage loan on the house? Was he supposed to refinance the house? Any time frame required?

    Since you will not be solely liable for the mortgage loan and there is little chance your ex will be able to find financing to pay off the mortgage loan, you may have a valid argument you should be given possession of the house. It would be inequitable if he was supposed to refinance the house and remove you from the mortgage but instead, has filed BK which causes you to be liable for the loan.
