He can not take your name off the taxes,insurance etc as long as you have an interest in the property. In this economy he may not be able to sell or refinanced the property. If he can prove he has attempted to refinance and being unable to do that has listed the property for sale, he may have complied with the terms of the judgment. If he did not attempt to refinance and did not list the property for sale, then a Rule to Show Cause can be filed against him. BUT a judge may well be unwilling to do anything.
