Among the Ask a Divorce Lawyer questions answered today by Cordell & Cordell attorneys:

• If I never turned in our marriage certificate to the clerk, am I still legally married?
• I've been making the mortgage payments during the divorce process so is the home mine during this time?
• Can I request the kids be taken out of daycare if they're old enough? Why do I pay for that and child support?
• Do I have to pay half of our child's counseling fees if there is no court order and my ex set it up without input from me?
• My child's mother is moving states and leaving my child to live with a friend. I'll still be paying child support. Shouldn't she have to pay as well since she's leaving the child or can I have more obligation reduced?
• My ex has a court order to refinance the mortgage, but has already been denied once. What happens if she can't refinance?
• My ex is paid off but I still owe the state a lot of money, the majority of which is surcharges that will keep piling up. Do I have any options?

Question: In the divorce settlement it was agreed that I would refinance our former home and release my ex-wife from liability. But in today's housing market, I cannot get a bank to refinance. 

So are there other ways to get her name off the loan? And what are the consequences if I cannot get her name off the loan; what can the court force me to do?

Question:

My STBX and I both have our names on the house, and we both agree that she should keep the house. However, I am concerned that she will struggle to pay the mortgage, and if she is forced to foreclose then my credit is ruined as a result. Will she be required to obtain refinancing in her own name (the time period I assume is negotiable) or force the sale of the house if she can not get refinancing within the time period negotiated?

As a note, she does not make enough money or have the credit to obtain financing. She claims she can make it work but I am still unsure.  What are your thoughts?
