Probably, agree to buy out his equitable interest in the property (whatever that may be), or, if the parties cannot agree on such a disposition, then proceed to litigate the matter via equitable distribution as part of the divorce before a judge of the circuit court.
It is possible. Hire an attorney and draft settlement agreement and obtain divorce or go to court and argue equitable distribution. Sheryl Shane, Attorney at Law. Web:www.sherylshanelaw.com.
