If you wish to make that an issue iun the divroce negotiations and settlement then that is what you should do.  It is not unreasonable.  But be aware that even if you agree to it and the court orders it she still has to refinance the loan in order to "get your name off."  And the lender may not agree to that.  They are not a party to your divorce. They are not bound by the agreement or the order.  You should have her apply before the divorce is final so that you can have a better idea of what will be and how to resolve the issue.  Good luck.
