This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
You bought it for $80K. It sells for $85K. $5k in equity. She gets $2500. [/quote]
or if he bought it all cash (i'm still unclear on that) then she gets 42.5
plus even in your example, dont they have to back out the expenses of selling the house? I assume most places are 6% commission plus closing cost etc which would mean no equity
