Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I moved out of my husband and I's shared house back at the end of July 09. We signed the seperation agreement the beginning of August 09. We have now lived apart for 6 months +. I went to the lawyer and filed the paperwork at the end of Jan 2010, he has been served and is not wanting to sign because he is wanting the engagment ring back. I am not willing to give the ring to him. I have also signed the quitclaims deed.
My question is how long does he have to sign the paperwork before it can go to court?
Is he entitled to the ring (there is nothing special about it, bought after we were married) ?
Both of our names are on the house, he is not having luck refinancing to just his name, after the paperwork is signed can I be legally taken off (force him to take me off the morgage somehow) ?
Any help would be greatly appriciated, I am at a loss right now. Thank you.

1. There are no time frames in which he must necessarily sign this kind of "paperwork".

2. He would be entitled to the engagement ring, if that was provided for in the

property settlement agreement.

3. No, only if the current holder of the mortgage loan agrees to allow

you to be removed. (The fact that this requirement may be part of the divorce

is not binding on the noteholder.)
