Bank will not remove your name till loan is repaid
2) you can request bank but it is doubtful bank will agree
3) you can seek court orders to direct husband to continue paying the loan
1. Income of wife has no restrain to claim maintenance for the children. In such case both the parents are equally liable to maintain the child.
2. In other words you can very well file case for maintenance of the children.
3. You have half share in the property and hence claim the same by way of a partition suit.
You can file a maintenance petition for your daughter's maintenance but since you are employed and drawing a handsome salary your application for maintenance may not be entertained, however you can argue for equal status based on his high salary income.
If the house property is on joint names then you can claim a share in it as a right.
Even though he may defend and try to deny your rights since you are also a co-applicant your claim may sustain.
Therefore at least for now you don't take any steps to remove your name from the loan
