Re: house
Under Pennsylvania law there is an Entireties presumption. That is any real property purchased while you are married can not be sold or mortgaged with out your spouse's permission. This is different from the marital estate that is divided by Equitable Distribution.
How it will play out in your case depends on a number of facts I do not have.
Feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
