: My wife has decided she wants to divorce/separate. Without our joint income, neither one can afford to pay our mortgage. We have had the house for 3 years. The mortgage was signed by her and we both signed the title. She took out 2 mortgages at the time of signing. The primary covered 80% and the 2nd covered the remaining 20%. Neither one of us wants to file bankruptcy. We are not trying to escape from our debts, just that we can't afford the house.

: Here are my questions:
: 1) When the house goes into forclousre, will it affect my credit since I am not on the mortgage.

: 2) How long does it usually take before the mortgage company starts the forclosure process?

: 3) How long does it take to complete the forclosure? How long can we/she stay in the house before forceably required to move out?

: 4) Obvisouly, the sale of the home shall pay off the primary loan, but the secondary will most likely be short. What legal options does the 2nd mortgage company have?

: 5) Would bankruptcy be the better idea?

Make an attempt to sale the house first before thinking about foreclosure. Get a real-estate agent.
