If you are going through a divorce can one spouse sign over their half of the mortgage to the other party without having to refinance?

[Edit]

Answer

It is my understanding that if both are on the mortgage, you must refinance so that you are both not held liable for the balance. If still on the note the other person would not be able to qualify for another house, car, etc. without that being considered as part of their debt.
