What to do if I’m active duty military and was divorced almost 7 years ago but my ex-wife did not get my name removed from the mortgage as she was supposed to?

She never got my name removed and 2 years ago I returned to the US from being in Korea for 2 years. I started the assumtion process to get my name off the loan. I was told everything was good several months later while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I recently discovered that the assumtion did not get done and now I am being told that the loan does not qualify for an assumtion. I do not receive any information on the house nor the loan and it is now deliquent by 90 days. How can I get my name off the loan when my ex-wife does not financially qualify to get it refinanced in her name only? What are my options.
