Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Quitclaim deed
Our daughter and her ex-fiancee bought a house together and now that are are split up she wants the house but he is not willing to cooperate in settling the matter. She has also found out that he is behind in child support (from a previous marriage), behind in car payments, behind in paying for legal fees fighting his ex-wife for child custody last summer, etc. Our daughter is worried that they will repossess the house or he will take bankruptcy and since the house is in joint tenancy, where will that leave our daughter? She has been making the house payments on her own since they spit up in Oct. 1999. She has tried to get him to let her buy him out but he never shows up when she wants to get something legalized. Also she has a restraining order against him and he cannot come back until 2001 to get his things out of the house. He was there when the police were there because of the restraining order and took some of his belongings but didn't take very much of his things. What can she legally do with his belongings? They are taking up space that she needs.

Re: Quitclaim deed

She needs to contact an attorney and start a partition action before he files bankruptcy.
