If I never signed a quit claim deed in my divorce, do I have any rights?

I got divorced while in jail so wasn’t able to go to procedings. My ex-wife got everything, and now I’m homeless.

Please take the paperwork to an attorney to review. Try legal aid.  It appears that the divorce and the property distribution were granted "on default" by the court.  You may have the ability to open up the proceeding as to the property distribution.  Good luck.
