If you only stay separated yes he can sell it and you will get nothing but if you filed for divorce and the house is included in the holdings each partner would get half.
in marriage each partner has the right to 50% of all the holdings to the partnership held while the divorce is happening. but any property sold before hand and money spent it does not have to be shared. because he can do what he wants with his property. Once the divorce is filed at the court house all holdings even if your name is not on the title you are entitled to half.
A judge only looks at what they have the day the divorce was filed.
If you do not plan to get back together with him file for divorce right away so the house will be included in the divorce.

Yes - and both depending on the judge and your lawyer. Even if the house was his before you were married, depending for how long you were married (i.e. longer than a couple of months), then you get half of all the equity.

It depends on where you live and if you bought it together after you were married. Some things are considered nonmarital property and others marital property. Call an attorney for a consultation, most do them free.

And too, whether he owned the house before you were married, or it was purchased after you were married. Of course, the latter would definitely be better for you!
Good Luck!!
