What is release from joint liability (ontslag uit hoofdelijke aansprakelijkheid)?

Release from joint liability (ontslag uit hoofdelijke aansprakelijkheid) is the process where a lender removes one partner from a joint mortgage, leaving the other solely responsible. The lender first checks that the remaining partner can afford the mortgage on their own income. It is a common step in a separation when one partner keeps the home.
