What, if anything would invalidate a Quit Claim Deed between spouses?

I signed a Quit Claim Deed on jointly owned marital home&property.(nothing to do w/ div. at the time;just very naively trying to prove my love)Spouse and I cont. to live there for five yrs. before;w/out my knowledge,my husband started preparing for a divorce.The first thing he did was put the aforementioned property into a Life Estate leaving it to his[adult]son. .We were later told by an attorney(friend of hubby's),that because we had cont. to live in & on said property for yrs. after the Quit Claim Deed was filed;that it became invalid and that the house and land were still marital property(meaning the Life Estate isn't legal).Can my husband now dump me out of a twenty-four yr.marriage w/nothing or do I still have some claim on our marital home? Thank you
