<prompt> Human: we bought it only 6 months ago she wants to keep it i want to get out of it and get away. Im not even sure if this is the right sub but figured ill try. Weve talked and came to a oral agreement she will pay me 5k I take my name off the mortgage. The only question I have is can I remove my name? Is it a long long process?  <response>: FYI - This is why you shouldnt do this unless youre married.It really complicates matters. You cant simply remove your name. She will need to refinance. Furthermore make sure youre not getting screwed on whatever equity you might have in the house.
