After 10 years+ of living together he is leaving me

California is not a 'common law' state and as such does not recognize common law marriages.  If you and your friend lived together and both contributed to the home, then you may have recourse in the civil court. However, you could not get spousal support because you are not and were not married.  If you have children, you could file for child support.

Call the clerk of the court where the petition was filed and ask if there was ever a final judgment entered in your divorce.

Will I get half of the house in a divorce even if he doesn't sell it and even if the mortgage is higher than it's value?

If there is no equity in the house, then there is nothing to divide. You either need to sell the house, or have the house taken over by one spouse. The spouse that keeps the house would have to get a refinance loan to remove the other from the loan (if both spouses are borrowers) If only one spouse is on the loan, that party should probably keep the house since it would be difficult to re-finance a house with no equity.
