Can my husband get a mortgage just in his name?
Mortgage loan applications are approved primarily based on your credit score and income. On the other hand, your spouse might hurt your chances of approval if she has a low credit score or a lot of debt. There’s no requirement that the mortgage be in both married names.
Can a spouse assume a mortgage in a divorce?
When one spouse wants to keep the home, the mortgage can (and should) be refinanced in their name only. ‘Assume’ the original mortgage. This can be a great option if your existing mortgage allows for a loan assumption. This makes sense when you have good rate and payment terms on your existing mortgage.
Why does a non borrowing spouse have to sign the mortgage?
The mortgage or deed of trust says that if you don’t, the lender can foreclose on the house. If your spouse isn’t your co-buyer, she doesn’t have to sign the note, but the lender may insist she sign the mortgage. That ensures the lender’s claim on the property trumps any marital rights she has to the house.
Can I get a mortgage without a separation agreement?
Your obligations to pay spousal support and/or child support will be outlined in your Separation Agreement. If you do not have a finalized Separation Agreement, then you will need to get a Separation Agreement finalized with your spouse before you approach lenders for a new mortgage.
Can my separated wife claim my inheritance?
Will I have to share my inheritance with my spouse if we divorce?

Can I file single If I did not live with my spouse?
If you are legally married, you can still be considered unmarried in the eyes of the IRS if you didn’t live with your spouse for the last half of the year, you file separate returns and you live with your child, including a stepchild or foster child, who you can claim as a dependent.
