Buying out property from Ex

[KITTYBEBAD2]

My ex and I bought a home almost 7 years ago. We divorced 5 years ago. He only occupied the home for 18 months. Divorce ruling was I am to remain in home until the 9 year recapture clause was over.We were approved for HUD. He wants to sell the house NOW. We talked about me buying him out.
He doesnt want to agree on anything I am willing to give him. During the divorce and speaking with my then attorney she told me that at time of buying him out,his buy out figure should come from the amount of time he was in the home making payments , the equity that was in the home at the time of his departure and not the equity that is in the home now. Can he just sighn the deed over to me(land) And the mortgage issue : I filed for bankruptcy 2 years ago is that going to make a major effect on me being able to purchase the home with another partner?
