House refinanced 4 weeks prior to being served w/divorce papers

My husband insisted on refinancing our home shortly before serving me thus removing any equity. Prior to that the house was in my name solely-now it is in both names. If I was under the influence and did not understand what I was signing-could this be challenged?

Generally if there was a lack of capacity, a contract can be challenged but the divorce adds additional difficulty and may be impractical in light of the cost and the full set of circumstances. My suggestion is that you retain a good family lawyer would can help you with the divorce and discuss the matter with your attorney in light of recent changes in case law regarding property law, gifts and other issues in a divorce situtation.
