It is difficult to answer without reviewing the exact terms of the judgment. However, presume you should pay until there is a court order telling you not to. You need to file a motion seeking an order against your former wife.

If the judgment is as simple as you describe, you need to keep paying on the home until it is sold. You will need to go to court to force her to sell the home, either to herself or someone else.
