Re: Husband signing home over to mom
YES. Unless you obtain a Court Injunction and Restraining Order, ASAP, your husband will be able to dispose of any and all property in his name alone.
However, Your interest, share and contribution to whatever property your husband may hold, although recoverable, may not extend past the 5 years of your marriage, without substanial proofs of your contributions.
Good luck,
