Massachusetts divides marital property based on what the court believes is fair, not necessarily a straight 50-50 split.

Everything you own, including property you brought into the marriage and even shared debt, gets counted as part of the marital estate and divided by the court.

If you and your spouse cannot agree on who keeps the house, the court will decide, whether that means one of you buying out the other or selling it.
