divorcing in the state of Maryland, I'm keeping the house and paying the mortgage etc. My soon to be ex-husband wants me to buy him out. I cannot qualify for a refinance due to having * *-day late marks on the credit file in the past 12 months as a result. I have the income, but credit file is against me.
