If my ex-husband signed a quitclaim deed but is still on the mortgage, can he have me evicted ifI am behind on the payments?

If my ex-husband signed a quitclaim deed but is still on the mortgage, can he have me evicted ifI am behind on the payments?

My ex-husband signed a quitclaim so the deed is is my name only but he is still on the mortgage and I’m not in a position to re-fiance in my name only. I’m behind on the mortgage payments and am about to go into foreclosure. He says he can have me evicted and take back legal control and ownership of the house even though he’s not on the deed anymore. Can he really do this?
