Re: am i entitled to half the house?

Names on the deed aren't important - what is important is how and when the house was acquired, and how it has been paid for during your long marriage. If you'd like to discuss this or any other aspect of your impending divorce, please feel free to get in touch.

The home or, at least, the appreciation on the home may be subject to equitable distribution.
