The mortgage would have to be refinanced to add your name to it.
The difference in a partner and principal of a firm is huge. A partner is an equal and a principle is the boss.
Unless your partner adds your name to the title and then refinances, there is no way for you to get on the mortgage.

First you need to understand that a mortgage company will not normally let one party to a joint mortgage contract off the mortgage. You and your partner can not agree to change the mortgage between you, your contract is with the Mortgage company, NOT YOUR PARTNER.It is not in the Mortgage companies interest to allow a change to an existing mortgage as you are BOTH liable for the payments - if one of you stops paying they will go after the other for all the money.To get out of the situation you have to repay all the money you borrowed and get a new mortgage in just one of your names. This usually means one or other partner has to buy the other out.
A partner is someone who has helped to start the business or who has a lot of stock in the company. A principal is someone from the outside who contributes information or services to the business.
You can't take someone's name off the mortgage. The mortgage belongs to the bank and both of you signed a contractual obligation. The mortgage must be paid off and refinanced in one name and the partner must convey their interest to the co-owner. Then the property and mortgage will be in one name.
You would need to refinance your mortgage loan to remove the ex.
To effectively split the mortgage with your partner, you can consider dividing the monthly payments based on each person's income or financial contribution. You can also create a joint bank account specifically for the mortgage payments, and set up automatic transfers from each person's individual account. It's important to communicate openly with your partner about financial responsibilities and come to a mutual agreement on how to split the mortgage fairly.
