Step 1 is to figure out if, and how, you can buy-out your spouse’s share of the equity in the home.  Step 2 is to make sure you can refinance the mortgage in your own name so you can keep and stay in YOUR home.

It’s important to understand that financing/refinancing in the context of divorce can be very different from when you previously took out your mortgage. There are so many rules and requirements that must be followed in order for alimony and/or child support payments to be considered qualified income by your lender. Similar issues can arise with your new or part-time job or income from your new business or rental properties. What you consider income and what the lender considers qualified income may be two very different things!
