More details to this question:
My wife has been threatening divorce for many years and now is threatening to sell our home. Both of our names are on the mortgage and it is not in jeopardy of foreclosure. We purchased the house together, but she wants to sell it. Can she do so without my signature?

If both of your names are on the deed, she cannot. If only her name is on it, she can. If you file a divorce complaint, the family court will have jurisdiction to address a motion by you for special relief seeking to prevent the sale.
