You have two issues that need to be addressed. If he has violated a court order and failed to execute and deliver a deed to you, then you need to bring a contempt action to enforce the divorce decree. If you want to evict him, you need to serve a 30 day notice to quit on him, wait the 30 days, and then serve and file a summary process complaint. This is a complicated area of law. I recommend that you contact a lawyer to do the eviction.
