Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
selling family home
Married for 9 years and family home is in my husbands name. We haven't filed for divorce but things are not good. He is trying to sell the home and I have no where to go with 3 children. Can he sell without my consent.

Re: selling family home
No, a husband should not be able to sell the marital house without the wife's consent. Usually the house is marital property and, in addition, a wife has a dower interest in her husband's real property.
You should seek the advice of an attorney to stop a sale if you wish to do so. I do not believe, however, your husband can put the house on the market without your consent and a purchase agreement would be voidable. It may be time to see a divorce attorney to protect your various interests.
Good luck.
