Do I have any grounds to sue my ex-husband, if e listed me as a co-signer on an auto loan without my consent while we were still married?
I’m pretty sure he forged my signature on the title loan on my car and sold it during our seperation. Finally, he refuses to make any payments on an HOA debt that is now in collections and is foreclosing my home.

If he and you were owners of a home subject to an HOA, you are both responsible for that debt regardless of any court order to the contrary. Until a contract has fully changed names to someone else, both individuals would be liable under the contract. As to the title loan, or initial auto loan, you can easily prove forgery and you should file a police report regarding this matter then bring this up in court when you sue him for contempt of order and reimbursement of fees to repair your credit report.
