This depends on the state you are in.
Normally the person staying in the home will need to "buy out" the other person, if they have the means to do so. They will refinance in their own name and pay the party leaving the house an amount equal to 50% of the equity.
Some times a judge will order the home sold and the proceeds split in some manner.

What happens if a couple divorce and husband's name is not on mortgage documents or deeds?
If the property was purchased in a community property state during the marriage and the husband did not waive his rights, he may have ownership rights to the property. If not, then he may not have an ownership interest in the home. Either way, he does NOT have financial responsibility for the mortgage debt unless otherwise ordered by a court. It is possible for someone to have ownership rights to a home and no legal liability for its financial encumbrances.
