In most cases a card holding spouse can add the other as an "authorized user" without permission, however those types of cards are not liable for repayment of the balance, even on transactions preformed on their card. It is not legal for one spouse to add the other on any credit applications has a "co-signer" without that persons permission. However, the liability would not be in the hands of the credit card company, since if you are listed as a "co-signed" and claim you did not agree, sign-up or give you spouse permission, you risk your spouse being turned over to the States Attorneys office for consideration of Credit Card and Identify Fraud.

When adding your spouse to bank account does it have to be a joint account or can they just have a card and other access?

It depends on the type of account - and the bank. If you're simply wanting the spouse to be able to spend money that's in the account - they can be added as an additional card holder. Alternatively - if you want the spouse to have equal control of the account (changing credit limits for example) - then it's better to have the account in joint names.

How do you get your ex-spouse off the mortgage agreement without spending a lot of money?

You will have to refinance your loan in order to get his name off. The loan now has both of your names on it because you both appied at the same time. This mortgage has to be paid off in order to remove the ex-spouse. That means you will have to apply for a new mortgage in your name only.
