Best Answer

Yes. She is responsible for paying the mortgage. However, if she doesn't pay and you want to keep the property then you will need to pay the mortgage or the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure and both your credit records will be affected. On the other hand, if you continue to make the payments she will still own a half interest in the property.

You should consider selling the property or making an offer to buy her share.

Answer

If you want to keep the house and she doesn't, refinance the house in your name only. You would need for her to sign a quitclaim.
