Do the court records from my divorce become public record?

Yes, unless the Court determines the public interest in disclosure is outweighed by the privacy interests of the persons concerned, i.e. you need to make a compelling argument your circumstances are much different from the standard divorce.

Husband (soon to be ex) made improvements to our home, which was mine before we married. Am I obligated to compensate him ?

You may be liable to pay him for one-half of the increase in the value of your home as a result of his improvement, if any. Other home issues remain like the fair rental value of your home to your community, mortgage principal reduction during marriage, and has your home increased or decreased in value. A lawyer needs to look at the whole picture.
