Dear jlg123:
Greetings. You may not be thinking about all property you share together, which would be marital. For example, if either of you are accruing retirement during the marriage it is marital.
I would go and talk to an attorney to review your situation and they may be able to help you plan accordingly for the problems that may exist in the pending separation. Yes, the sale or refinance of the marital residence is an issue that an attorney can help you with and will have to be dealt with correctly in the separation agreement. Best of luck.
