Call a lawyer....
AMEN
Hopy you must have taken decision about it in your divorce process. you can all your lawyer
no lawyer,and he never showed up for any court dates.the house was never an issue.
"no lawyer" meaning you don't have one? there's no time like the present to get one. you don't live in a community property state, so nothing about that would apply.
in reality, unless you have a strong-arm handy, you can't "make" him pay what he chooses not to pay. the only way to take such action is to go to court (do i hear a lawyer calling?), and the only way in which he could force a sale of the home is to take you to court (ummm...lawyer, anyone?). barring him from the property would undoubtedly require that you hire one of those people i already mentioned (don't want to say it again).

Unless you had some legal agreement between two ofyou, then not sure what legal action you can take.
Unless court has some directive as a part of the divorace process
