First of all, it is your wife who seems to do something about this issue, as the decree of divorce may have some bearing on all of this.
It is possible that she was ordered to pay on the house, though why I can only guess. The Decree should address how that property is divided, and how to handle the situation.
Your wife really needs to get with an experienced family law attorney to review the Divorce Decree, and the fact situation. Then your wife could obtain reliable assistance and advice.
I have handled cases such as this, should you be interested.
