What to do if my ex is threatening to hold me in contempt because our decree states that I have to refinance my home and remove his name within 18 months?

Home is not worth the loan. Cannot be refinanced due to ex not paying off community debt in timely manner. Got loan modification. Bank said they would remove his name but now they won’t.

Okay. You tried.  And now you need to go back to court to ask for a modification of the agreement and to explain to the Judge what you explained here.  Come up with an alternative plan. Speak with someone like an accountant or financial planner. Show the court you are trying and remember to bring up the issue of his untimely payments and how it messed things up.  Good luck.
