Dear XXXXXXX:
Thank you for your question.
The only way in which to get a co-signer off the loan is to refinance the loan without the co-signer. If you are unable to do this, then he will have to stay on the loan. A court order can only make the adjudication about who is responsible for paying the loan; however, a court order cannot make a lender remove a legally valid co-signer from a loan.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, or require clarification of this matter. Otherwise please hit "ACCEPT", so I may receive credit for my response. Tips and feedback are also appreciated.
Good Luck!
