You need to get a Consent Order signed and approved by the court that details your agreement to share the profit from the house.

Then what he does with his share (e.g fritters it away) is his business. You share is safe.

If however you just split the profits by verbal/informal agreement without a consent order then you do face the risk that he could waste his share and then come back to claim some of your assets at a later date.
