Dear one, After reading your query, I suggest you not to fear because your husband can't sell said flat without your acceptance as you are the co-owner in that flat and he can't divorce you forcely as divorce suit can be filed by mutual consent or by cruelty basis and if your husband moved out you from the residence than you can file a suit of maintenance for you and your child and also file a suit domestic violence against him in case of harresment with you.

Madam if the house was not purchased by your own money, your husband had to give you an innocent pass in his house and you would have a right of shared household. You can file a complaint against your husband for his overt greedy act and you can claim maintenance for you and your son under section 125 of Cr.P.C. or section 12 of Protection of women from Domestic Violence Act.

you have right to ask for maintenance for yourself and for your sons, you can take shelter of Domestic violence Act and your husband cannot force you to sign papers. Meet a lawyer and ventilate your grievance for legal aid
