IMHO you are setting yourself up for trouble.
1. Why your ex husband would still have a joint LOC with you is beyond me, but that's perhaps another discussion.
2. Yes, if you borrow from it for your downpayment the financial institution can track it. Furthermore you are legally obliged to declare all debts when applying for this mortgage. Failure to do so is at least misrepresntation if not fraud, and they could cancel your loan if they find out about it afterwards.
3. Since the mortgage company has to be told, I don't quite know what you are gaining, because they will then consider it loaned money you owe, not cash savings.
4. My understanding in our part of the country is that if the downpayment money has not been in your accounts for 6 months they will ask you for evidence of where it came from, and it has to be in your hands at least 30 days before closing in all cases.
5. Regarding expected money from abroad, there can be many delays in the process. Also banks are increasingly suspicious of phoney"gifts" from relatives that are actually loans, and may require affidavits from your relatives.
I would advise you to cool your heels for awhile.
