In order to answer your question with respect to the real property that you are writing about, you need to carefully read the presumed marital dissolution agreement and judgment between you and your former spouse. Such will set forth what rights you have to the home.
If you are no longer on title to it but are simply paying the mortgage for it for the present time, you have no legal rights under the law to the property.
