i recently got divorced. i purchased a home in arizona prior to marriage. after being married for a few years we took out a home equity loan. a quick claim deed was signed by both of us. a year later we seperated and my spouse sign the quick claim deed on the equity loan and moved out. he is not on the mortgage loan or the deed to the house. the judge is ruling i need to refiance or sell my house to give him money to some of the equity he put into the home for the 5 years he lived there. what im wanting to know is how can a judge rule for me to sell or refiance when my spouse has never been on it.
