The house should have been settled as part of the divorce proceedings; the fact that it wasn't means that somebody screwed up. Since you have been in the house since then, the title should have been deeded to you as part of the settlement. What you need now is to get him off the title via a quitclaim deed, which can be in exchange for a payment for some of his equity in the house. Any change in the equity since the split will have to be the subject of haggling; since you still own the thing jointly, I'd say it should be split down the middle. Alternatively, he gets the house (you deed your share to him) in exchange for a payment as above. Either will require an appraisal, but you can get a decent guess with zillow.com for computation purposes. All of this is tied in with the questions of alimony and child support. With all of this in mind, it is time for you to get a lawyer.

You by no potential ever ever ever ever sign a criminal checklist without consulting your very own lawyer in case you don't understand what you're signing. So get the papers from him, tell him you're taking them on your very own lawyer earlier signing - and bypass from there. If he gets pissed off at you approximately it - you somewhat plenty have your answer to despite if he's attempting to screw you or not. often, btw, you're entitled to 0.5 the fairness in a divorce. He might get a miles better element considering you have been residing interior the domicile through fact the divorce - yet you nonetheless are entitled to a pair of it. It relies upon plenty onwhat you agreed to with reference to the domicile in the process the divorce. the reason to your divorce - is a non-difficulty while it includes this remember.
