Q: how to stop my husband from transferring or selling his part of a land contract he co own with friend
We are going to be separating soon as I have the money
A: Until several years ago, you could withhold waiving your 'dower rights" and he would have had a difficult time making a transfer without you. However, the law has changed and unless you have a court order either in a divorce action or under another theory of ownership, it is very unlikely that you will be able do anything. You should have a real estate attorney review the land contract as there are other facts that may change this answer.
