removing name off 1st mortgage loan I was divorced in August 2006.

removing name off 1st mortgage loan
I was divorced in August 2006. In the divorce, I gave my husband the new house and the first and second mortgages that went with that. He has been making the 1st mortgage payment since I moved out in February and I have been making the payment on the 2nd until this last week when that loan was finally approved and moved to his name. The problem I am having is removing my name from the 1st mortgage on the house. I have been told that the loan is not assumable and that I have to stay on that loan with my ex even though I haven’t lived there in 9 months, the house is legally quit claimed to him, and the divorce decree states that this loan and the house is his sole resposibility. How do I get my name removed?
Thank you.

    While the judge may order your ex-husband to make payments on a home loan and you to quit claim you interest in that home to your ex-husband, he can not order the lender to remove your name from the loan. If the lender is unwilling to remove you from the loan then your ex-husband must refinance that first loan into his own name in order relieve you of liability to that mortgage company.
