Better read your present mortgage and note as it might have a due on sale clause. Violation could mean foreclosure. Or there may not be a prohibition on junior priority liens. Check first.

Apparently you should not have got a divorce until the marital real property was dealt with. Prepare a quit claim deed for him to execute in front of a notary. If not, either sue for contempt to enforce the divorce decree or file for a Sale For Partition. I suggest you hire a LA attorney now.

No... But contact a LA attorney to examine both titles and determine exact easements of record. You might terminate easement, but you will probably be sued.
