If the woman (you?) owns part of the home, then she/you have a right to a portion of the proceeds when the house is sold unless a divorce order says otherwise. If your name is on the deed, the house will not be able to be sold unless you sign it thus you can enforce your rights. If you have a problem, consult a local attorney who can further advise you of your rights.
