A special warranty deed would not remove you from the mortgage. When you got divorced, your divorce attorney should have had your ex-wife sign a deed of trust to secure assumption. The deed of trust would allow you to foreclose on the home if and when your ex-wife failed/fails to timely make a mortgage payment.When a divorce decree requires one party to sell or refinance a home within a certain period of time, you can petition to enforce the decree by having the court appoint a receiver to sell the property. Often, in these situations, the receiver is a real estate agent.
