You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud. At the time of closing she/he would have to be present. Inform you spouse of your actions.
You can add your spouse to the mortgage by refinancing in both of your names. Your spouse does have to be credit-worthy. Check with your original lender to see if it can be done simply without a full fee for refinancing.

Let me answer the question this way: the addition of somebody with low credit can't help a mortgage application, and may kill it. A lot depends on the mortgage being applied for (all mortgages have, as a criteria for acceptance, a range of acceptable credit scores) and how low, in fact, the spouse's credit scores are. Talk it over with the professional handling your mortgage. If, for instance, you need to add the spouse for income reasons, you might be better off to get a different sort of mortgage. Good luck.

The only way to remove your spouse is by refinancing the mortgage. Your attorney may be able to assist you in negotiating with the bank.
Yes. Both parties must sign the documentation when refinancing an existing mortgage. This is to protect both parties from unfair lending practices.

I am the one who wrote this question, and now I have an answer that I will share. I spoke to our attorney, and the answer to the above question is NO, absolutely not, as the court will view this as a transfer of assets and you could be charged with fraud.
Yes.
I know you can still get divorced in NY without a signature if you've been separated for 2 years. There are other ways too but you still have to get consent from the court, like if you don't know where your spouse is
Yes, you can sell a house without spousal consent it their name isn't on the mortgage. If their name is on the mortgage, you will need their consent.

A quit claim deed will be rather inexpensive. However, the spouse can require payment to sign the agreement. You cannot remove them without their agreement and consent.Another PerspectiveA quitclaim deed will transfer the interest of the spouse in the property but will have no effect on the grantor's responsibility to the lender or the mortgage. Generally, the mortgage must be paid and refinanced in order to remove a spouse from any responsibility for paying the mortgage.
