Need tenant out of property I got in divorce settlement

So I got a divorce. My ex-wife (and myself but I am not on title) have a rental house. It is titled under an LLC owned solely by my ex-wife. She will not quitclaim the property to me until I sell or refinance the house. I can't qualify for the mortgage.

The tenants are awesome. I love them to pieces, but I need the cash from this house. They are elderly and minority. There is no current lease on the house. I believe 60 days notice must be given to the tenants on GA. 

I am a real estate agent. So I am worried about trying to get them out of the property, because really I am not the owner as far as title goes. But I was granted the house in the divorce. Ex-wife and I are not on friendly terms. 

How do I get them out? Can I sign a one off management contract, even though I'm not on title? Can a management company get the tenants out in a kind and legal way?

Oh. And last thing. We bought this property as a 1031 exchange. The original property was gifted to my ex-wife. We then bought this house 4 years ago for 52k. I did all renovations myself and spent 12k. Now property will sell for 145k. Since this was awarded to me in the divorce, usually assets gained in a divorce settlement is non-taxed, but since She bought it as a 1031 exchange, do I get stuck with the capital gains taxes?

Any help would be appreciated. 

Best!
