Sure. You were bothe owners up to 04 and California is a community property state so you both "claim" equal equity up to 04. After 04 he cannot claim equity if he turned the house over to you.
However, all "claims" should have been disposed of in the final divorce settlement. There are no claims allowed after the decree is issued.

No he can not.
Quit claim means to forfeit any, and all interest in a property forever. That includes existing and future equity. Your best bet is to refi in your name. If there is still a mortgage on the property he is still on the loan, and equally responsible for that.
The refi will put everyone's mind at rest.

By giving you a quit claim deed your ex gave up any rights they may have had to property equitable or otherwise.
If the deed was properly executed your ex should have no interest in the property whatsoever.
As always however, you should seek the advice of legal professional familiar with your specific situation.

If he quitclaimed (not "quick-claim") his share to you he gave up any claim to any equity in the home. Quite literally that's what the term "quitclaim" means. If you sell the property, 100% of the equity now goes to you.

no, because he 'sold' it to you in 04.
