I cannot really understand all of your submission. However, he general rule is that there is a 50/50 split-the fact that your husband never put the home in your name is not determinative of what you obtain, regardless. Your attorney has an obligation to advise you of all possibilities as there are many factors that contribute to a determination of property division . However, without knowing all of the issues and facts, it is impossible to provide you with any additional information. Good luck
