sorry nat only just noticed your question, our house was in negative equity at the time so we really couldnt sell as there was nothing to split, I kept the house and paid the mortgage, as the mortgage was in my ex name only I had another mortgage to buy him out but, we agreed that i would get a mortgage for what we owed the building society and pay them off so no one made anything it just sort of changed hands, if you follow! my ex got a flat with a housing association and he is still there now, and I am still in the old family home.
this probably doesnt help with your situation but thats what we did.
take care......
