If you are legally separated you can reach an agreement about marketing the home, or about her seeking to refinance and pay you off, and have it incorporated in a court order. Or if you cannot reach agreement, you can move the Court to order the property sold and the equity divided.

If you are legally separated and you were awarded equal time with your children, then you can file a petition to enforce or for contempt for her failure to follow court orders. If no court order regarding your separation (or divorce) have been entered, then you will need to file. In that initial petition, you can request to be awarded equal time with your children as well as address the issues with the house.

You can't 'make' your wife do anything. I would suggest you file an action in the Court asking for joint custody of your children and an equitable division of the property acquired during the marriage.

Get and attorney and take here to court if she is not complying with a court order. If there is no action filed, file for divorce or separate maintenance and for a custody order.

You need an attorney and court intervention. Don't try to do this without an attorney when your children are involved.

You need to file for a divorce on the issue with the house and file a petition for visitation on the issue of visitation in the family courts.
