QUESTION
Can the judge force me to sell the house or my car to satisfy my ex or can I hold the house mine until child finishes high school?

More details to this question:
By divorce dissolution, I have to pay to my husband $88,000 (part of the down payment of the house, part of inheritance which I received two month before divorce was filed). The whole divorce process took 7 years and in this time, I used my inheritance for living expenses. In the present time, I voluntarily pay my ex $200 per month but he hired a lawyer to collect judgment. I got the house and live with a disabled child (she turn 18 this month and 11 grade student in high school).

It is not a question of discretion with the judge based upon the facts as stated. Your ex can force the sale of the house. You might want to talk to a bankruptcy attorney about protection in this situation.
