Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

a year before my divorce, our two properties was divided and quick claim deed done on both placing his name on his and my name on mine..Then with the divorce, it was stated again that the properties belonged to each individual..

We have a private party that has the mortgage on both places and thought that the divorce would take each other's name off both titles.. It did not.., my question is, because of everything that was done before hand, if I choice to sell my place and paid the mortgage off..if there's anything left over, does he have any legal right to part of that..What would you advice me to do..thanks so much
