Re: Taking my name off a mortgage
Each party is and will be responsible for any debt which he/she signed. The only way for either party to get out of the obligation is for the other party to refinance in his/her name alone.
As to charge accounts, the same rule applies: if you signed on for it, you are responsible; if you did not, you are not responsible.
Re: Taking my name off a mortgage
In addition to what Mr. Fields said, the courts will generally not intervene in such relationships, so you can't compel one party to refinance or take over the house. You MIGHT be able to force a sale via a partition action.
