Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Re: divorce and property home

It the couple cannot agree and the matter must be decided by way of the court known as equitable distribution,

her entitlement would depend upon a number of factors, including the amount of any down payment she contributed to purchase the home, any upkeep or maintenance she performed, or improvements for which she was responsible, taxes she may have paid, etc., any or all of which a court might consider---along with other considerations--in determining what this lady's fair share of the property should be.

Nevertheless, however, if each of the twosome's contributions more or less roughly balanced each other out, one way or the other, then they should basically split the proceeds of the sale after appropriate deductions are made for the costs/fees involved in completing the transaction.
