Unless the home was addressed in the property settlement you'd either better get ready to pay her 1/2 of the price of the home or sell it.

There's a little thing called 'Partition' lawsuit and it's EVERY owner's right to protect their interest in title.

One hint is this. Have your HUSBAND file the partition suit and ask the court to apportion percentage as of the date she left with all legal fees taxed to defendent.
