Re: divorce

Record title (the name on the deed) does not determine whether and to what extent you are entitled to the home or its value. Property acquired during the marriage is generally marital property subject to equitable distribution according to a variety of factors. Consult with an attorney with additional details in order to find out what you're likely entitled to.
