this is not clear - do you mean that the two of you own the home, but you are solely responsible for making payments? that seems to be the case, but you need to add some clarity.
Yes. Both names are on the mortgage, however, only my name is on the loan documentation.
that makes your original question moot. if you are the only borrower, there's no need to refinance your mortgage except for the purpose of borrowing more money or reducing your rate.
just for clarity - the mortgage is the document that secures the loan. if you are the only signer on the loan, then you are also the only signer on the mortgage.
as for the ownership of the property, which is apparently what you're trying to change: you and your spouse can prepare and record a quit claim deed (from the two of you to you only) and that'll give you ownership solely.
i think that ought to do it for the answers you needed.

Hi
From what you've mentioned it seems you want to remove your spouse's name from the title to the property. Well, if this is the case, a quitclaim deed should be enough to solve your issue.

I suspect it won't be quite so easy, Sussane.
Puhlmann, you'll probably need to file a legal notice in your local newspaper to accomplish what you need. Contact an attorney in your area, discuss the situation, and move on from there.
Refinancing isn't an option when the title is jointly held and you're trying to do it on your own. Any lender you speak with is going to require that all parties to the deed be a part of any new loan you seek.
