Quit Claim. Can a Judge order a party to sign?

Missouri
I have just recently attended the sentencing session for my former partner and he was found guilty of domestic assault. His sentence was a suspended imposition of sentence with 2 years supervised probation and no contact with me. I have a full order of protection that expires in Jan. It will be a year in Jan since it was issued. How does this court ordered No contact order protect me? We still own property together and he refuses to respond to any correspondence from attorneys. I would prefer him to sign a quit claim deed and he would prefer to have the petition to partion and have the Court order it sold. I have been pre-approved for refinancing but I can't do anything unless he signs the quit claim deed. I have made all the payments since January plus I had put all the money down on the house when it was purchased. Which as of now is close to $15.000.00
Any advice would be helpful. Thank You

Then you need to file suit for partition.

California.My ex refused to sign anything! The judge ordered the property sold with a "right of first refusal". A "reasonable" offer was made by 2 potential buyers and my ex accepted one; then I exercised my right and bought the property, giving him his share of the equity.The real estate broker had agreed to 1% for her trouble if there was no sale to 3rd party. Judge had to sign ALL the escrow papers and orders since ex would not.
