I purchased and financed my home. I put my fiancé on the deed. We split up because of infidelity and I found out AFTER that he was married, although the deed says single. He told me that he is filing for bankruptcy. I have asked him to sign a quit claim deed which he refused. What is my recourse?

He can't just sign a quitclaim deed since he is filing bankruptcy. It would be deemed a preferential transfer and opposed by the bankruptcy court. Mr. Slater is correct. Quiet title is the cause of action. If he does file the bankruptcy, you should immediately meet with an attorney to protect your rights.
