Can my ex sell the house without my permission?

How do I buy my ex out of the house?
In most cases, a buyout goes hand in hand with a refinancing of the mortgage loan on the house. Usually, the buying spouse applies for a new mortgage loan in that spouse’s name alone. The buying spouse takes out a big enough loan to pay off the previous loan and pay the selling spouse what’s owed for the buyout.
How do I get out of a co signed mortgage?
If you cosigned for a loan and want to remove your name, there are some steps you can take:

- Refinance or consolidate.
- Sell the asset and pay off the loan.
Why is cosigning a bad idea?
The loan can hurt your credit score. But your score can be hurt even if the primary borrower is diligent with payments. A high unpaid balance on a loan you co-signed can hurt your credit utilization ratio, which is the percentage of your available credit that’s in use and is a major part of your credit score./span>
