In a divorce of a marriage of barely 2 years, how likely would it be that the wife is rewarded the house if both her and the husband's name is on the deed, and the wife is on disability with social security? And obviously wouldn't be able to afford to move? And opinions/advice? Thanks.

I suppose I'll add some extra details. It's my mother. This was her grandmothers home. The man she married almost 2 years ago bought the house with her and I'm pretty sure the money came from both of them although it might have come from his account, and his name is on the loan. No wrong was done that I know of other than emotional and mental abuse.

usually what the court does now is that both couples get 50/50. of all the estate. she can buy his share. or they can sell the home and split the proceed. good luck.

Well I think that will vary from state to state, but I think its usually a 50/50 split, or if the wife keeps the house the man gets a cash settlement. Have you hired a lawyer yet?

The person who wants to remain in the house should pay out the other.
Otherwise, the house should be sold and proceeds divided.

It has to be sold and the proceeds get divided 50/50 or she buys him out.

I don't really think that the wife will get the house but wife may get somethings in the house.

get a good lawyer. It is likely it will be sold and both of you will share the money.

i had the same problem and i paid all of the down payment and I was awarded the property. It depends on the situation.

she'd have to pay you half of the equity, which is probably not much since it's been such a short period of time.
