My husband and I will be legally separated soon. We are signing the papers tomorrow. He is leaving the house to me, it says so in the agreement. I was told that I could remove his name from the deed to the house, but I don't *have* to. I can't decide what to do. On the one hand, I want his name off, just in case he screws up financially, then they can't take the house from me. On the other hand, if his name stays on it, and something happens to me, he can move back in with the kids without dealing with tons of legal crap. and the kids would be able to stay here.

If his name remains on the deed, does he have any claim to the house even after signing the agreement that he is leaving it with me?
