You can sue him, but that's a tossup. If he has an ownership interest through marriage you'll have to buy him out.
This should have been taken care of in your divorce. Assuming there is a provision in your divorce decree which obligates him to convey his interest in the property to you, this will NOT take care of the tax liens--those will remain liens against the real estate. There are a couple of possibilities, but you would need to contact a real estate attorney in your area to assist you.
