Re: my house
I agree with Mr. Moens. You need to hire an attorney to look into this for you. It is too complicated for this forum.
Re: my house
It is unclear if the wife you refer to is your son's wife, or your wife. I am guessing it is your son's wife--if that is incorrect, please clarify and repost your question.
If all three of you are in title, your son's wife can only sell her 1/3 interest in the property, and it is unlikely anyone would buy a 1/3 interest in a residential property.
If only your son and his wife are in title, it is not your house, it belongs to your son and his wife. Again, she could only sell her 1/2 interest, but if your son agreed to go along with her, they likely can sell the house.
Your son's lawyer is correct, you need to hire an attorney. This forum will not suffice.
