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.
The mortgage company can not add your name to a loan that you did not close on. However.... Several states allow companies that extend credit to hold both spouses liable if they are married at the time the debt was incurred. I would recommend that you talk to legal counsel in your state if you are in this situation.
You can't just add someone to a mortgage by filling out a form or anything, you have to refinance and have them added during that process.
depneds who your mortgage is with... but more than likely yes.
Yes! All you have to do is go to the registry of deeds (or your area's equivalent) or a title company with your wife, and do what's called a "quit-claim deed" to get yourself added to the title. It usually costs between $100-150. Your wife can add whoever she wants regardless of whether or not they have any involvement in the home or the mortgage.
I can't think of any reason why you would. You can always just make the payments. If the payments are made, the mortgage company probably won't even blink.

The "quitclaim" does not establish ownership or automatically create new ownership of the house. The only way to add another name to the ownership deed is to refinance the home mortgage.
The mortgage would have to be refinanced to add your name to it.

It depends on what you wanna change. You cant the take the name off the deed of the person whose name the mortgage is in, obviously but you can add anyones name you want with a little paperwork. The easiest way is to go through a title company. They are fast and know what theyre doing.
Traditionally yes, however it is growing more and more common for a woman to add her husbands name, for both spouses to take the woman's maiden name or for both spouses to add their spouse name to their own. It should not be taken for granted that a wife's family name is the same as her husbands, especially among younger couples.
No. However, if the married couple reside in a community property state it does not matter if one or both spouses are named on a loan contract. In community property states all debts that are incurred in the marriage are equally owed by both spouses regardless of which one is the named debtor.
