More details to this question:
Me and my ex (never married) bought a house together. Both names on deed but he is only on the mortgage. He walked away and stopped paying the mortgage and taxes. I have been paying them so our kids can still have a house to live in. I do not know what to do to protect myself in this matter.

While you would not owe the mortgage if you did not pay it, you could lose the house if the mortgage is unpaid. As these kids are his kids, you should go to Family Court and get a child support order that makes him pay the mortgage.
