How much do I have to pay ex if I sell the house?

My ex husband has been paying half the mortgage even though he hasnt lived in the house for nearly 5 years. He now wants to come off the mortgage so it looks like selling is the only option as I can`t get a mortgage on my own. How much of the proceeds will he be entitled to or is it just a 50/50 split?

You should, of course, split the selling costs as well.
It's not really you paying ex. You are jointly selling the house.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0
