The husband can file a petition or motion. He'll have to serve notice on the wife, who must have a chance to object.

Not enough information to respond. Ownership papers need to be reviewed by attorney.

This husband you speak of cannot force the sale of property he does not have an ownership interest in. It is conceivable the husband could obtain an interest in the wife's portion but no facts were provided on that issue.
