Ex husband won’t refinance and remove my name, am I entitled to equity?

r/

Location: Utah. My divorce was final in 2020, my ex-husband was awarded the home we purchased together. Our decree states that he had 90 days to remove my name from the title or I can sell the home. I don’t really understand that verbiage and I don’t wish to sell my children’s home, but I am very irritated that I am being held back financially with my debt-to-income ratio demonstrating a mortgage, and that he has accrued substantial equity in the home over the last 5 years by using my name and not re-financing. I don’t think he can afford to re-finance at this time. Do I have the option to pursue equity accrued since the divorce was final, at this point? How can I support myself here?

    talk to your divorce lawyer who will probably be able to advise on the best next steps.

    are you on the title? or just the mortgage? If on the title, you could cause a forced sale.
