Re: Divorce
I would suggest you review the terms of your divorce decree. Something of this significance should have been covered in that document. If not, it would be prudent to consider an amendment to the decree to confirm the split in equity if you have concerns.
Re: Divorce
I assume you have a divorce settlement that provides for the 50/50 split so that agreement should be all you need.
Moreover as tenants in common, unless otherwise agreed in writng the closing attorney is going to issue the check either in both your names or 1/2 to each of you.
You should attend the closing.

This issue should have been raised as part of your divorce contest. The separation agreement controls.
