Re: Division of Assets.

First, you may want to consider some marital counseling if things are at this point.

Second, there is no clear answer. I would need to know a lot more facts. At this point, though, you have a claim to at least some portion of the marital residence regardless of whether she pays the loan payment or not.

This interest comes from laws governing distribution of marital property and from laws governing wills, inheritance and descent.
