Can my husband's ex-spouse fight the surender of a home mortgaged in his name?

No, your husband's ex-spouse cannot fight him discharging the mortgage from his bankruptcy. She should have refinanced by now, which is the usual course of action in a divorce when the house is given to a single person. Also just because he discharges the debt in bankruptcy, the not mean she will lose the house. If she continues to make the normal monthly payments, she will be able to keep the house. Bankruptcy only discharge is the obligation to pay a debt, if you continue to make payments on that debt they will not repossess the collateral that secures the debt, in this situation a home. I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
