This sounds like a real mess. It sounds like two joint tenants own a piece of property in common with one having the mortgage in his name. The other joint tenant has a piece of property that has a home equity loan about to go into default. In one state the joint tenant with the home equity in default would lose that piece of property. It would not affect the piece of property he or she owned with a different person.
In order for your name to be on the mortgage, you would have to be a co-borrower, in which case your income, credit and liability information would have to be considered in qualifying the mortgage.
You can't transfer the mortgage, but you can remortgage in her name only.
Each person who signed the mortgage is responsible for paying that debt. You should discuss your situation with an attorney, especially if the other person's name is also on the deed.
You cannot "get out of" a mortgage. The mortgage must be paid off and refinanced in the name of the new single owner. That issue should be addressed in every divorce agreement.
