Ex Is Trying To Remove My Name From Our House Mortgage
My ex and I purchased a house together. I was the only one with an income and good credit so only my name is on the mortgage. Both of our names are on the deed. We broke up and he wants to keep the house and for me to move out. In order to do that I need to remove my name from the mortgage. We purchased the home for 125k. Zillow says it is worth 256k today. Our remaining mortgage is around 90k. He is offering to have someone buy the mortgage from me and writing me a check for 25k. He says this is more than fair but all he does is lie and I don't trust him. I am a new mom and have no money saved or income to get a lawyer. Does this sound fair? Should I save up to get a lawyer before agreeing to this? Should I ask to have an appraisal done first?
