Why was the home only listed in his name?  How much did you contribute  toward purchase of the home? Depending on the circumstances  you may be able to  argue that there was a "constructive trust" and thus the court should determine that you are  50% owner of the property. More information  is needed before an attorney can determine  whether that is the way to proceed.
