Like someone said, it depends on the state!!!
I'm been here and done that!! In South Carolina, the home has be refinanced! I allowed my ex to keep the home without fighting over it and he was supposed to pay me a lump sum of money when he refinanced but guess what! After the divorce was FINAL- While waiting on him to refinance - he stopped making the payments and the house was foreclosed on!! My credit is ruin and there is nothing I can do.
