Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

divorce

My husband & I have signed seperation papers.We have agreed and signed papers stating that I give him money for his share of the house..my lawyer said that since the papers are signed and I am refinancing the house to put it in my name and having the deed changed also..it would be safe to give him the money before the divorce is final...please I need a second opinion..Thank you...PS.We have no children
