Re: he's trying to take it all(the wifes rights)
Wife has right to one half of the equity in the home since the date of marriage. However, if husband has his name only on the house, he can sell or refinance without wife. Wife should file a "Notice of Interest" claiming one half of the equity in the house since the date of marriage with the county recorder.
