You could quitclaim your interest in the property to the co-owner, but you are obligated to pay the mortgage. In that case you would no longer have any ownership interest in the property but you would be fully responsible for paying the mortgage until it is paid off. If the co-borrower failed to pay the lender would seek payment from you. You should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain your options, responsibilities and the consequences of executing a quitclaim deed. See related question.
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.
A variable interest rate mortgage is one where the amount of interest being charged may change during the course of the mortgage depending on the current interest rates, but the usually monthly payment remain the same. The disadvantages of this type of mortgage is that if interest rates go up more of the monthly payment goes towards paying the interest instead of the principal, taking longer to pay off the mortgage. If rates go to high, the monthly mortgage payment may go up, this is rare however.

It would all depend on what type of a mortgage you have , What the lending loan is, what the interest rate given you as well as the amortization period is . A fixed mortgage will show you how much you pay in interest over a certain amount of time at the interest rate given you. The calculator will show you how much interest you are paying with a graph from beginning to end.
If the joint owner who conveyed her interest was paying a third of the mortgage then her grantee would also be responsible for paying that share. The grantee in the quitclaim deed is a tenant in common with the other two joint tenants.
Although there is typically no consequence to paying a late mortgage payment, there is typically consequences to making mortgage payments late. These consequences typically include a late fee, increased interest rates, and a lowered credit rating.

Do you mean paying mortgage twice a month? Yes it will definitely be faster and save a lot of interest payment. Remember that interest is tax deductable. Check on your tax group; how much tax you pay for your income.
If she is also paying the mortgage, then you will need to get the agreement of the lender to do this. At my divorce, I signed a quitclaim, which may be what you need.
You may want to consider refinancing if you are interested in paying off high-interest-rate debt, shortening the length of your repayment term for your mortgage or lowering your monthly mortgage payment.
The mortgage amortization chart will show you exactly what you are paying. It breaks down principle, interest, and required monthly payment to make sure the loan is paid off when it is supposed to be.
