QUESTION
If his name is still on the lease but he gave my text message to the landlord to take his name off the lease, is that legally binding in court?

Depends if the landlord accepts, if so then it depends on the Judge.

It may be an indicia of the agreement between you and you are about to be ex spouse, it is not legally binding on your landlord, and if there is some form of change in mind or circumstances not necessarily binding upon the court either.

He cannot take his name off the lease. He is bound by that contract until it expires. You need to talk to the landlord.

Probably not. What does the lease say about notifying the landlord of things? And besides, I would think he would remain on the lease until it came time to renew the lease, despite any notice that he gave about being taken off of it.

No. You need to send a letter to the landlord.
