Is there a legal remedy to force the sale of marital property?

Hello! I have a property under contract. Property and all parties are in Missouri. Only the wife's name is on the title and the purchase contract is only between me and the wife. I understand that Missouri is a marital property state. The property was, indeed, purchased while the owners were married. They're still married. The husband doesn't like the terms of the contract. My understanding is that he must still sign some type of paperwork for the deal to close. If the husband refuses to sign, is there a legal remedy to force the sale since there's a contract? I'm planning on also asking this question to the attorney tomorrow when I sign the closing docs. Thanks!
