My husband just died, and he didn't leave a will and my name is not on the mortgage, his ex-wife is still on there as we were not married long, their divorce settlement gave him the house, she recived $2000 payment of equity and was to sign a quit claim deed, what happens now? can I be evicted by his ex-wife?

Call a RE attorney TODAY. Ask a real estate agent to refer you to one if you don't know one. You may also want to contact the attorney who represented HIM in the divorce, but talk to your own attorney too because you may have some malpractice recourse to thee 1st attorney as well.
You will need to have all the divorce paperwork you can find when you meet with the attorney - including the $2000 cancelled check.
You have to do this NOW because the property may be hers already and she could (with a copy of his death certificate) get a loan on the proeprty or even sell it without your knowledge. Act now so you can record your claim on the property (I think its a lis pendens that you need) before this gets more complicated.

You need to speak with an attorney right away, preferably the attorney who handled your husband's divorce. They can file a motion to force her to give you a deed to the house. But don't wait!

pocession is 9/10ths of the law... if your name is not on the mortgage the house does not belong to you, unless you can show proof of her being paid off. You will more then likely have to go to court if she wants the house.
