Yes. There are only three ways to not be responsible for a mortgage payment after a divorce: sales, assumption, or re-fiance. Sales means the two of you agree to sell the home. Assumption means that the other spouse agrees to take on all responsibilities of payment, even though both names are still on the deed. Refinance means that the deed is rewritten, but this time without your name.
Please speak with an attorney for legal advice.
