Thank you for your follow up.

If the court has ordered for the house to be transferred solely to your name, you can file a motion for contempt against your husband and the court will order your ex-husband to sign the house over to you which would remove his name from the deed.

Unfortunately with the mortgage it is not so simple, as the court cannot force the mortgage lender to remove the name of your ex-husband from the mortgage, unless the mortgage lender would approve an assignment of mortgage to you and/or to remove your husband from the mortgage.

Unfortunately, unless the house is transferred in your name or your ex signs all the documents necessary to the sale of your house and also the entire mortgage is paid off with the proceeds from the sale, you will not be able to sell the house.
