Whomever the judge decides should get it (or it may get sold and divided).

It will depend on a variety of matters, including the existence of minor children, whether the house was purchased before marriage or as a result of an inheritance, or whether there are other assets.
If the house is the only asset in the marriage, the judge may force a sale or a buyout.
You should consider hiring a local family law attorney to represent you in the matter.
