Would I still get a divorce if my husband denies he was served?

A party to a divorce proceeding (you) cannot serve the other party with the summons and complaint. Anyone over the age of 18 can serve papers if they are not an interested party. When service is made, the person serving the papers files an Affidavit of Service with the court. With the service in the file, you can obtain a default if the other party does not respond within the prescribed time limit (usually 20 days). You will need to have someone else serve the paperwork.

Can you take your name off of a property you co-own with someone if you have been forcibly locked out?

You seem to be talking about two different things - ownership of the home and responsibility for the mortgage. If the locked out party is liable for the mortgage that party should seriously consider filing suit to partition the property. The goal would be either to force the other party on title to refinance the mortgage in that party's name only or to force a sale. Either way the locked out party is no longer responsible for the mortgage and can move on. Depending on the locked out parties' financial situation that person could potentially file for bankruptcy and discharge their personal liability on the home. The locked out party should consult with an attorney to discuss these possibilities further.

Does it cost much to look over my paperwork and can I have an estimate?

It's not hard to prove that someone is misstating his earnings if he also gets a paystub. Or has a checking account into which he deposits his earnings. Cash earnings which go unreported are harder to find. Locate an experienced divorce lawyer and put your problems in her or his hands. Often such a lawyer can help you get what you have coming under the law, and relieve some of the stress. Good Luck.
