Can he do this. I bought it 15 months ago.

If the deal that you have written about has closed more than fifteen (15) months ago where you now own your "ex's" shares of a former mutually owned business, then under the laws of all states in this country he should not be allowed to ask for the shares to be re-valued that you own.
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to assist you in the matter you have written about.
