Is there any equity in the house?

The court may not order her to sell the house immediately, if at all. There is also the issue of who owns the home, when was the house purchased (before or during the marriage), and the age of the children. If there are children and assets involved, you should seriously consider taking the time and spending the money for an initial consultation with a local experienced attorney.
