I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but your problem's a common one.
I'm an Australian and lived and worked in Bali for some years, unfortunately the Indonesian laws favour Indonesians, and i've heard of many cases like yours,.... with the property in Your Husbands name regardless of who paid for it an Indonesian court system which's corrupt anyway wouldn't recognise your claim,....
Your Husband is Balinese so he doesn't have to even divorce you according to Balinese custom he can have more than one
As for the threat of Divorce, if married in a Hindu ceremony he doesn't have to divorce you as he's allowed more than one wife,... i've a Balinese friend that has a Balinese wife also married 2 Australian girls, ONE in Christian ceremonies, in Australia and hasn't divorced any.
