This is a complicated issue and really would likely only be decided in the context of litigation. This will need to be hashed out in a suit to determine whether or not the spouse had any ownership interest. But you say that the spouse's name was taken off the deed a year after marriage. But was the deed executed as part of the mortgage and was the spouse's name on the mortgage? You really need to arrange to have an in office consultation with an attorney and bring your documentation with you.
