It is not compulsory in the UK.
I'm not sure if it varies from state to state, but we were able to do that. The mortgage is in my husband's name, yet both of our names appear on the deed.
You really need a lawyer's advice, but any sensible person would advise you to 1) Get the house put into joint names. 2) Get your husband to legally adopt your son. Hope a lawyer sees this and gives you a more detailed answer!
yes they can, and will if his bill is not paid. sell the house as soon as you can before they get a judgment against his estate.
Yes. But, you might have difficulty selling it with out his signature. It's best to put both your names on all your property and/or. For example: John Smith and/or Jone Smith. Also, just have both your names on the deed.
yes

When the husband is a 'Jr.' and your letter is formal and not private you would address it (example:) Mr. John Doe, Jr., and Mrs. Jane Doe or it is still fine to put: Mr. & Mrs. John Doe, Jr. If you know the couple as friends then in the letter or note you can just put their first names and drop the Jr.
Put the house in your name. Don't have your husband/wife signature on any of the papers.
yes
Please kindly note the decree said that the husband would buy the wife a house of her own , and no trustee part appeared in the decree , so the husband is wrong.
Supplimentary question made into a new question.
Yep. In Florida, we have done this many times, using my credit to do the deal (cause im the one who cant stop myself from buying) only to have her come to me whining about not having her name on the deed. I would instruct the title company to put it in both names and they do it. Simple as that.
