    This is not a marriage relationship issue it's a Family Law issue so its been moved to the appropriate forum.

    What you do is consult an attorney. Whether what your father-in-law is suggesting is legal or not will depend on where you live (a key factor you left out). Many states have laws that state that assets acquired during a marriage are marital assets and can't be disposed of without both spouses agreement.

    A local family law attorney can explain where you stand and how to protect yourself.

    Well it is obvious someone appears to be planning a divorce, so file for divorce now before the transfer was made, if your attorney believes you have a claim to part of it.

    Was the house bought after you were married, and/or do you live in a community property state or country.

    Some follow ups
    1 where did the money to pay for this hosue come from
    2. is the relationship so bad that divorce is being considered already
    3. why would your husband not want you to have the home you are both living in
