Question by still learning: How do I remove my name from the mortgage?
My x and I split up a year ago, I moved out and my x stayed in the house. I’ve left my name on the mortgage (we weren’t married so the house is the only thing legally binding us), but now I’d like to take it off. How does that work? Is it expensive? How long does it take? Our mortgage is through countrywide.

You can remove your name on the Title of the property if you choose, by quit-claiming the deed to your x-husband. You still are responsible for the mortgage though and your name cannot be removed unless you either refinance using a different name or have your x-husband refinance only in his name.
