You could go to vegas and put it all on black for a 'coin toss'. At least then you'll get comped a dinner if you lose.

That one is a crapshoot since he agreed to take on the debt as part of the marriage. Really it cuts down on both your equalization but he is allowed to attempt the argument that it escalated during the marriage creating a great deal of debt.

Yes but that is not his fault. You should have worked to pay down this debt.
You really keep digging yourself a bigger hole. You had a quarter million in legal debt during the marriage, you never paid any of it, you quit a well paying job to start a business, you don’t pay yourself but pay your new partner and you refuse to agree to sell the matrimonial home. If you lose this case you also pay his fees.

When you say I have to pay his fees do you mean fees from when we start and court proceedings or fees over the years he's tried to get me to sell the house?

But you quit a well paying job to work for yourself and pay your new boyfriend. Any attempts you made are moot as you made stupid financial decisions.
If he wins and can argue he is entitled to costs, he can argue for all of his costs from the start of the entire mess. This is why most of the people here have told you to smarten up.

Then you should have worked to find a new job to meet your financial responsibilities. Your ex was not a personal bank account.

I was in similar situation. Ex held the matrimonial home hostage for 2 years. The judge granted my motion to force sale of the home. Ex pushed back said he would be homeless which is what happened to him anyway. Regardless the judge ordered sale of the home because ex was denying me access to my share of the equity. So a cautionary tale to the poster. If a judge didn't care that a mentally ill man would be homeless it will be even more likely he will order you to sell your home. You can't be unreasonable and prevent your ex from accessing what is his.
