How hard will it be to get my name off this house so I can move on?

That depends on your spouse and what they are willing to do. You can quick claim your name off the deed fairly easy, its about $100 and just a few papers to sign. A mortgage loan officer at any bank can draw them up for you.  Good luck

The legal term is adverse possession. Unless there is some agreement between you, other than rent, and the owner has not attempted untl now to remove you from the property,then it is possible that you now have right to the property. It would depend upon the particular laws and statute of Limitations ( could be as much as 20 years) in your state and municipality.

No, but you have to appear in court, or it will become an automatic default. If you do not show up for court, the Marshall will serve you, and you will have roughly 60-90 days to be evicted. You can and will be locked out of your own residence, and the house will go into foreclosure.\n\nDuring your court appearance (assuming you go), make sure that you speak on your own behalf, or hire an attorney if you can afford it. Also, if you can financially afford it, request time to catch up on the payments. The judge may take into consideration whether or not a family/children living in the residence with you.

If you want your name on the house, then you would have to apply jointly.  And I would strongly suggest having your name on the house to protect you in the case of divorce.

Sorry Virginia is not a very kind state they won't help you. I lived in Virginia for most of my life and it is very hard to get anything wiped off your record even for such a great reason. Call a lawyer in Richmond they will usually give 1 free consultation.

I would hire an attorney to handle filing a Summons and Complaint.  It will require they come to court.  They can be given the option of paying or getting out.  If the court grants the eviction, and they do not move, the police or sheriff shows up and removes their belongings.  You need to take the proper steps to get this resolved.  If not, by the time you do, the court won't take it all that seriously since you've been allowing it to happen.

There has to be a way to move you on to the deed. With multiple names on the deed the property could move between relatives. I would not suggest a quit claim deed, that might be contested (forged). This is a situation for a professional, believe me the cost is worth the gain.

If there is a lien on the property you are stuck w it- D

Unfortunately, he can file bankruptcy, which just makes it harder for you to collect. You did mention for "us" to qualify  for a loan on our new house... I'm assuming this means you both own this house together (BOTH of your names are on the title)? If this is the case, you can go to court, and sue him for your half of the equity in the house (and the original downpayment plus attorney's fees) - this may require him to sell the house (which he can't legally do without your signature if your name is also on the title also). While the money you used to pay off your ex's vehicle and travel trailer might be gone (but not necessarily), at least you might be able to recover your loss suffered in the mortgage loan. Good luck!

I agree, get an attorney. You also might want to talk to your brother about refinancing and getting rid of your name.

Disclaimer.  This is not legal advice.  I am not an attorney.  As far as I know, the poster may be a government agent hoping to entrap some hardy soul.  My post is hypotheical only.  For research purposes only. etc.\n\n\nKid, I thought long and hard about how to answer your question.  The same thing happened to me long before I was ready.  \n\nI just took it on the chin.  They moved me to a relatives house 200 miles away and didn't even have the decency to tell the relative that I wasn't welcome back.  \n\nIt worked out for me though.  I own my own house, have a wife.  I've had a more exciting life than most people I know.\n\nFor now, your choices are pretty limited....you can talk to them and try to work it out.  If they are hitting you or doing other violent things to you, you gotta find someone to tell about it.  Maybe a relative or teacher that you trust.\n\nIn the alternative, go to an attorney or the local courthouse to see the judge.  Most states allow you to be declared an adult, emancipation, and you can take care of yourself.  You need some help for that.  Try to get it.\n\nYou know, my step-father was really violent.  He would just pick me up and toss me like a bag of chips.  Looking back it is hard to know why the teachers, neighbors, cops, never said a word.  Why they didn't speak up to help me?\n\nEither way kid looks like your life is going to change here pretty quick.  Change is good.  I hope you accept it and get on with your life.\n\nGood luck kid.

actually if his name is on there you can make him pay support.  Also you can not remove a name from the document it will be there for life.

Unfortunately since your name is on your mother's account, the bank is legally able to take the money out of that account to cover the other account that you have with them.  \n\nYou might want to have your mother call them and ask them what she needs to do to remove your name from her account.  I imagine that it is legal for her to do that - especially if you consent to having your name removed.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nBest,\nShakti

Ours has been discharged now for about a year and a half and we are in the process of purchasing a 4 bdr, 2bth home. So far we have the home but are now looking for a piece of land to put it on. All we had to do was show proof of discharge and what all was paid off in it. Since you have no money to put down I would check around and find out what ya had to have down. If you had to have a down payment I would try to get a co-signer, or look into FHA, HUD or Section 8 or any Government loan programs to see if I could get help from any of them. Good luck and wish ya the best..... :0)

Depends on the state, type of loan, if it was a tax sale etc.\n\nIn the most common in the west a deed of trust they can evict you at any time.  If you had a mortgage it could up to a year and for tax sales seems like at least 6 months to a year.\n\nEmail me off forum and I can give you some other ideas if it wasn't a deed of trust

well what we do is make alias's. But we also own a lot of property under different names so if something goes wrong we just move into another house. My dad has been to jail for tax evasion.
