Ownership of the house is not affected by divorce. However, a non-titled spouse may be entitled to some portion of any appreciation in value of the property that occurred during the course of the marriage. Whether the spouse is entitled to such a value is a matter that requires a detailed analysis of your specific situation and what occurred during the marriage.
