I guess whoever gets custody of the children, if children are present, should "get the house".

If it turns out that there are no children, then I feel that if it's a situation where one of the two acted unfaithfully, then the one who didn't "break the vows" get to keep the house.

If it turns out that both just want out for whatever the reason (grew apart; just don't love one another romantically anymore, etc.), then it should probably go to the one who can't afford to leave or the one with the lower income or if not that, then they should just share the place and just live like two roommates, especially if both invested in the property and are on decent terms with one another.

AND BESIDES IN CALIFORNIA IT'S 50/50. I SAY SELL, SELL:p

I was in a long term relationship with a lady and even though we were not married we bought a lot of things together. When we broke up things were so bad that I just left everything there. I know most people may not agree with this decision but I was able to recover and get my own things again. Sometimes people don't have money for lawyers and all of the legalities that come along with it. In this case the person who is less fortunate probably will end up being arrested or with restraining orders placed against them. In these cases I would say that it is best to just leave unless the two parties are able to come to a civilized conclusion. I would also say that everyone needs a basic knowledge of the law. This is why so many people get away with so many things.

I just got out of a 5 year relationship earlier this year, other than the child we had togther we shared everyting except the mortgage. It got sooo bad that I took my baby and walked away, the only thing i took was my truck that he bought. My friends thought i was crazy but its not worth the stress. I can buy new stuff:p

Totally agree w/ you. Sanity is much more important!

I hope I never end up in the situation, although, I haven't much of a desire to get married. I still think of marriage as being "owned", somewhat, even though I've never witnessed this type of thing in my life. Meh. To me, a marriage is supposed to be a partnership. Seems like the logical thing to do.

Anyway, seems that stuff should be split down the middle, right? It should be mandatory by law, imo. Now if there's a house involved, as both parties would've contributed to that, it would probably be best just to sell it, split the money up equally, and just buy cheaper places.

I do. I gave her what SHE wanted, so I deserve the house and TV! :D

That's why AMERIKKKA has the HIGHEST DIVORCE RATE IN THE WORLD.

Marriage is NOT a "partnership"...someone's got to FOLLOW and someone's got to LEAD! :)

True, your husband will be your "owner". Your WORTH will be determined by how well or how poorly you treat your man! :)

Marriage is NOT a "partnership"...someone's got to FOLLOW and someone's got to LEAD! :)That sounds more like an ownership issue, and I am not a piece of property going to the highest bidder. No human is. If you want property or someone to obey you blindly, then go get a dog. This to me is slavery. NO person is going to own me. I won't allow it and if I ever end up with any guy who tries to "own" me, he's out the door.

It's supposed to be partnership. Everything is supposed to be 50-50 and equal. A married couple is supposed to work together. No one person is supposed to have control over the other or more control over the other. They're both supposed to contribute to the household, and if both partners are actually working, then it's obviously the right thing to do.

That is YOUR opinion, but I agree with the INFALLIBLE WISDOM of GOD!

(the Tenth Commandment of God as given to His servant Moses)

Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

--------------------------------------------------------------

As you should see from the Word of God, a man's HOUSE, his WIFE, his SERVANTS, his OX, and his ASS, are among his PROPERTY. That's why God said that men shouldn't COVET what another man owns!

Of course, the WHITE MAN and the brainwashed descendants of his SLAVES may see things differently, but WISE men agree with the Almighty GOD!!!
