I was able to sell the house because we had an agreement that if she participated in the sale of the house that I would drop my contempt of court charge against her.

I made every single payment up until I sold the home. My former lawyer told me once that he could tie her up in court by seeking half the mortgage payments that she didn’t contribute to if she was seeking half of the equity.

You should be entitled to reimbursement for half of the payments made after the community terminated unless there was some type of deal or order to the contrary. If she signed the sale she should have demanded her equity at that time but that is her problem now. She probably signed a HUD-1 statement at the sale agreeing to the disbursement of the proceeds. If she did not like the way the funds were being disbursed she should not have signed it.

He gave you some very poor legal advice if he was referring to payments made during the marriage. Payments made after the marriage is over is another story.
