Are you on the Deed as a grantee? Hopefully you are a tenant in common of an one-half undivided interest. If so you can sue for Partition if there is sufficient equity in the property. Being signed on the Deed of Trust and Note does not make you an owner, just liable for debt.
Is a parents time with kids forfeited for the entire visitation if they do not begin said visitation at the starting time/day? If my ex doesn’t want the kids on Friday night, can they demand to have the kids, say, Saturday or Sunday since technically the entire weekend is their parenting time?... View More

If someone’s not sticking to the parenting plan, there are two ways to handle it. One’s pretty straightforward, the other’s a bit more flexible.
First up, contempt of court. If they’re breaking the rules, they could face up to 10 days in jail for each violation.

IR Divorce is where there is an agreement. Apparently you have no agreement. In that case you must put on proof of grounds. You might not have any. Hire a lawyer who might be able to help, or stay married until he agrees or one of you dies.

He can claim the appreciation in value since the marriage should be divided as marital property. Likewise you can argue the increase in his plan's value since marriage is marital property. You need an attorney when engaging in such a legal suit, as you could lose valuable properties.
