House after divorce: Mortgage in both names?

Questioner

I divorced 5 years ago, and the house was transferred to my partner. At least that's what I thought, partly because that's how it was described in our divorce agreement. Now it turns out that the mortgage is still in both our names. I would like advice on how to deal with this.

Dear questioner, Your ex must cooperate and go to the bank and the notary together to get the mortgage in one name. Which is not always easy these days. Also, in some cases, one must take into account a residual debt.
