    Are you both actually selling the house or is your ex just trying yo get you off the deeds?

    Why not 

    Get out of the IVA

    Then sort out the house

    Then clear the debts?

    I am a bit surprised that your IP has allowed this situation to run for over 3 years.
    I have heard that this is surprisingly common. IVA firms seem pretty sloppy about it, because there is little they can do if the partner refuses to sign the RX1 form. In most cases the IVA firm gets a decent result by just letting the IVA proceed normally. 

    In this case, the fact there isnt a restriction doesnt help that much. If the house is sold and the debtor refuses to pay their share of the equity into the IVA, then this is one of the rare occasions where bankruptcy may be considered.

    She is going to need to see a solicitor

    An option would be she could wait until your IVA completes

    It would be helpful, and much more beneficial to you, if you could characterise your circumstances in a few short sentences, giving us the full picture, rather than drip feeding information in bits and bobs.
