Your son can take his ex-wife back to court on a Motion for Contempt together with a Motion asking for the house to be sold. If the court orders the house sold and is actually does sell, the existing loan might be paid off at the time of sale and you would be free to pursue your other goals. If your names are on the deed to the property, you might also be able to file a lawsuit yourself seeking a "Partition" of the property. In such lawsuits the property is often orderd to be sold. Good luck.
