Unless your name is on title to the home that you are writing about you seemingly have no right to move into it. I would contact your "ex" to see what can be done for the loan to be refinanced so that your name can be taken off of the loan. If he is not cooperative on the subject I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to go over the final marital order of your dissolution to see what recourse you have as to getting your name off of the loan.
