How do i arrange it so that I can sell my house several months after my divorce is final?

Whether you will be forced to sell it depends on a number of questions. Questions like (1) what does the quit claim deed say, and when it was done, (2) what does your separation agreement say about the home and the mortgage, and the other assets and debts of the marriage, (3) will your husband file anything in court to ask the judge to address the house, (4) whether you can sucessfully defend against any claims he makes, etc.   The issue of Equitable Distribution may properly be filed at any point prior to the granting of the divorce, unless it has already been resolved in the separation agreement.  You say you are legally separated which generally means you have done a separation agreement, but you never said you did one.  As you can see, you have not given enough information for an attorney to adequately answer your question.  I suggest that you use the 'Find a Lawyer' link above, to locate an experienced Divorce / Family Law lawyer in your area, and schedule a confidential consultation with them to discuss all of the facts surrounding your issue, to get a complete answer to your question, and to discuss hiring them to represent you through the complicated waters of divorce and division of property.
