Sorry, but I don't think that you have a case. The divorce court apparently approved the sale, and 7 years later your claim would be barred by the statute of limitations.
It's time for you to move on and get over this.

Generally, the answer would be no. You should know everything that has happened to the title of the property. If he is borrowing money from a bank, they will require updated insurance.

A mortgage is sufficient to secure an indebtedness. Deeds of Trust are not used in Oklahoma. If there is one it is simply treated as a mortgage.
What does that mean

But my issue is that it’s no a true easement shared by other lots. It’s all on mine. Can I fence it off legally. I don’t mind a equally shared easement just not all on mine.

Generally, a quitclaim deed conveys all of the interest of the grantor at the time of the conveyance. However, it all depends upon the actual terms of the deed. You will have to have the deed reviewed by an attorney.
