Refinancing after a break-up

My ex fiance & I bought this condo together that has a 1st mortgage and a home equity line of credit. We both used the line of credit to pay off bills (pretty much equally). There is still some equity/value in the condo (above the first mortgage & home equity line of credit) and he is insisting that he is "due" part of that money when I refinance. I would like to know if he is still responsible for half of the equity line of credit that we both used? I can't get 100% financing since I am bascially refinancing (just to get his name off of the mortgages so he can go buy somthing else). I offered him what cash I could get back when I refinance, but that isn't good enough for him & is basically threatening to force me to sell. I don't think he thinks that he has any responsibily towards the home equity line of credit. Who's right? Thank you!!
