What determines who gets the house in a divorce?

In most divorces, the marital home is a couple’s biggest asset. If a judge determines that the marital home is one spouse’s separate property, the solution is simple: the spouse who owns it, gets it. It’s a lot more complicated when the family home is a marital asset.

How do you know it’s time to leave your marriage?

Feeling Completely Disconnected: You no longer share things that are important to you with your partner (and may even be sharing them with someone else instead). Little Effort is Being Made: When you get married you make a commitment to share your life with your partner. This takes time and effort—always.

Can a judge force the sale of a home in a divorce?

“There’s a misconception you have to get a divorce order before you can deal with the sale of the family home. But you can sell or transfer the family home at any point.” But divorce doesn’t automatically trigger a sale and often people will wait to sell the house until they have a binding financial agreement.
