As a Realtor, I totally understand the importance of a house. More than just shelter... your house is your home! A significant investment and thousands of memories! 

YOU HAVE 4 OPTIONS

1. Sell the communal home and divvy up the proceeds

2. Buy out your spouse so as to own the whole home

3. Sell your half to your spouse

4. Keep joint ownership
