Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Divorce and property

My husband left me for another woman and is living with herin her home. I live in my house with my daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. I have done all the remodeling, yard care,etc. and worked for twenty years to help pay for everything.

When we divorce can he make me sell and give him half? I don't want to displace myself and family. The deed is is still in both our names.
