Re: sale of prorperty
Usually the cost of maintenance and repair is deducted from the proceeds before splitting the proceeds. If one spouse maintains the home, the other spouse is still responsible for half the cost of that and that half can be reimbursed at the time of the sale of the home. This is not cut-and-dry, however.
