More details to this question:
My husband and I got a divorce and had legal papers made where we each paid half of the mortgage until the house sold. He now refuses to pay his half and I cannot pay both. Can I get my name off the loan so it does not ruin my credit since he is the one that will not meet his obligation?

You will need an attorney to file contempt motions and request an order from the judge relieving you of the obligation. This order could be submitted to the mortgage company to remove your name.
