I would visit your local citizens advice bureau. They will be able to give you advice without you having to pay a lawyer!

Check your final divorce settlement.  It seems very unusual that a divorced couple would remain jointly on the deeds of the former marital home without some further legal provision to deal with this eventuality.  CAB is always a good idea

You need to see a solicitor do you realise that he is entitled to half because his name is is on the deeds but if you see your solicitor he may beable to win you a higher percentage seeing that he has not contributed anything in years i would not hesitate.
