Legal Question in Family Law in California

divorce and real estate

I co-own a house with my mother, her name is on title as well. My wife and i are close to divorcing and i was wondering how that would affect the ownership of my house. My mother and i owned the house before my marriage. What would my wife be entitled to regarding the equity in my house considering she is not on title and I am not the sole owner of the home?
