Whether you realize it or not, you may be dealing with two separate issues. One issue is can you get a mortgage based only on your income. The other issue involves legal ownership of the property. You may pay 100% of the value of the house but since you were not legally separated or divorced, your mate might be entitled to 50% of the value of the house when you sell. On the other hand, it is a number of years since I studied real estate law for this state. I imagine you should get the legal issues straightened out before you try to get the mortgage or at least check with the mortgage broker.

If you haven't signed them yet, and you haven't any formal separation agreement, and you own the house jointly with your ex, you have as much right to say who lives there as she does. In fact, if she's got a boyfriend and you're not legally separated, that's lawyer fodder depending on the State you're in. It all depends on your State law concerning joint property and any separation agreement.
