My rights while still married
after 17 years of marriage my husband has everything we own including house in his name only, he has taken out 3 loans against our home totalling 110,000 dollars and refuses to even allow me access and will not add my name to accounts.
we have 2 children and i work part time. 7 years ago i unknowingly signed a quitclaim deed, can i stop him from keeping all this from me and from selling off anything else we own as he has threatened to do. He will not divorce but has also recently called police twice on me claiming domestic abuse and saying i am crazy, what can i do about these accusations, im in a horrible spot and he refuses any monies for me to get assistance, i am well aware this is verbal and mental abuse please advise me of my options i desperately need help

In a general sense, your name does not have to be on an asset in order for you to have a community property interest in or to the asset. Also your spouse owes you a fiduciary duty of good faith and fair dealing as to the marital assets.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
