If he quitclaimed his interest in the property to your friend, he no longer has an ownership interest in the property. This is the case unless 1) it was his primary residence or 2) your friend used fraud or coersion to get the quitclaim deed.

Your question contains several inconsistent statements and omissions of needed facts. First, why were you renting if you were the owner, or even a half owner, and to whom were you paying rent? Second, if there have been several notices of trustee sale, isn't it likely there's now been a foreclosure by trustee sale so that a third party now owns the condo? Also, who has been paying the property taxes? Who is named as the borrower or borrowers on the loan that may have been foreclosed? What are the relative dates (sequence) of the quitclaims, the divorce, etc, mentioned? What is the upcoming court date about - case management, trial, or what? Have you been sued and if so, have you filed and served an answer or other responsive pleading? Do you have an attorney, or are you representing yourself?
I agree with Mr. Whipple. Your post does not make sense. I originally clicked on this message to reject it for more facts.
