Depending upon the terms of your seperation agreement; you may be entitled to petition the probate court where you were divorced and seek a modification or a contempt complaint seeking your name's removal from the mortgage.
I would start by speaking with your original divorce attorney, assuming he is still practicing.
Good Luck.
Next step is to request to have the divorce court (probate & family court judge) ORDER your ex-wife to complete the paperwork.
