in Australia, we have "no fault" divorces, which means neither party is more to blame then the other party. so, for property settlement a starting place is 50:50 share of all assets. this may go up or down depending on how many children, who has custody, (and most importantly- who has the best lawyer, whoops, i seem a bit jaded). anyway a house is just one of the assets and is divided the same as the other assets- you know, who wants it and who can afford to buy it off the other party. if both want it, or neither can afford it, then it goes up for sale, and the money from it is divided in the ratio agreed to, or ordered by a court. i personally think if kids are involved, then mum and dad should have "whats best for the children" as the first starting point in any action they may take
