This question has come up a lot lately, especially with Wells. Here is how it works. When your ex-husband went through Chapter 7 BK his personal obligation on the mortgage was discharged. To that extent the original contract between Wells, you and him no longer exists. There is nothing to refinance. My advice is to look for another lender. If there is equity in the house, after the 1st and 2nd mortgage debt, someone will refinance you. You cannot reaffirm the debt because the BK case is closed. It would take time and $ to reopen the case and not a good idea. I don't let my clients reaffirm mortgage debt. There is no reason to.
