The ONLY way she is going to get his name off the mortgage is if she refinances. The lender is not going to allow his name taken off. They are not bound by the divorce settlement.

She needs to show you that she has applied for refis and been turned down. If she doesn't, he can take her back to court and have the court order that she put the house up for sale.

If I understand you, the divorce setlement says that the ex-wife must cooperate to remove his name from the mortgage - correct? Well, if she's not fulfilling the terms of the divorce decree then it seems to me a lawsuit would force the issue.
