If my husband and I are getting divorce, how my name can be removed from the deed?
My name is on the deed of the house but not on the mortgage. My husband always had paid the mortgage by himself and I’m not interested in the house. Will my credit will be affected it?

You can file a quitclaim deed which releases your entire right, title and interest in the property to your husband. The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary. It becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
Filing a quitclaim deed should not affect your credit.
