    The mortgage will have to be refinanced in order to get someone off the mortgage but they still may own the home with you unless a quit claim is filed. Check with an attorney about your specific circumstances.

    You can stop a foreclosure by working with your lender to request a loan remodification that will put a stay on the foreclosure process. You also have the option to file bankruptcy which will also put a stay on the foreclosure. You can bring the arrears current, sell the home before it becomes foreclosed on, or give the property back to the lender.

    There may be agreements in place to allow for this. The interest is usually higher than the principal payment, which will be temporarily agreeable to the lender during times of hardship, but you will need to work through this with the lender if you don't already have an agreement to pay only the interest.
