<prompt> Human: Situation:After an ugly divorce a few years ago, parent B is planning to remove his name from the mortgage. Parent A has no job and bad credit after being blacklisted for trying to sue his employer. Now parent A is asking me to co-sign for the mortgage because he is unable to refinance.I found a middle-class job about one year ago, but my position is unstable and I could lose it any day. Parent A is well aware of this. Having recently graduated from university, my biggest focus is establishing an emergency fund and savings.Question:Is parent A actually at risk of losing the house?If so, is there any way I can help parent A not lose the house without exposing myself to horrific legal and financial liability?Consider:- I obviously wont co-sign under any situation.- I doubt parent A will find a job any time soon.- I dont even know if my credit can qualify for a mortgage.- I have no hesitation to telling parent A to pound sand and die in a gutter.  <response>: I dont know the full details, but I suspect the bank will not allow Parent B to remove his name from the mortgage. I doubt Parent A can be forced to refinance. Parent B is probably stuck with his name on the mortgage, and there is nothing he can do about it.However, since I dont know the full details, this is only a guess. However this is usually the case after a divorce. I would have to read the divorce settlement to know for sure. and I am not a lawyer.
