Going through a divorce is never easy, especially when it comes to dividing assets such as the family home. In California, property division laws can be complex and confusing, leaving many couples unsure of who will get the house after the divorce is finalized. At COLLISS LAW, APC, we help California residents navigate the ins and outs of divorce proceedings, including determining who gets the house.

In California, marital property is typically divided equally between spouses during a divorce. This means that both parties are entitled to half of the assets acquired during the marriage, including any real estate property such as the family home. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as if one spouse owned the house before marriage or if it was inherited or gifted to one spouse during the marriage.

When determining who gets the house in a California divorce, several factors come into play. The court will consider each spouse's financial situation, their contributions to the acquisition and maintenance of the property, and what is in the best interest of any children involved. If one spouse can afford to buy out the other's share of the house or if they have primary custody of any children, they may be more likely to be awarded the house.

If both spouses want to keep the house after a divorce, they may choose to sell it and split the proceeds. This can be a simple solution if both parties agree on how to divide the sale proceeds fairly. However, if there is disagreement over who should get the house or how it should be divided, mediation or litigation may be necessary to resolve these issues.
