Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I'm currrently married not getting a divorce but in the future if something where to happen that leads to a divorce, I want to protect my real estate property.

Here is the dilema currently thinking of refinancing to a lower rate (obtain the property before the marriage and is our homestead) but if I do he will have to sign which I'm afraid will link him to my property. Is there something/way that will exclude him from rights?

You are not re doing the deed on the property. If his assets are needed to refinance the property, then he will be liable for the mortgage with his signature on the Note. In the future, you are looking at an equity gain in the house and what part of that would belong to him insofar as having made payments o the house, maintenance etc.
