What is the man entitled to in a divorce?
The right to continue living in your marital home is granted to both married partners and neither spouse can force the other to leave. The circumstances surrounding the property are also irrelevant, i.e. whether both of you, or only one of you, rents or owns the property.
Can a spouse claim ownership of the house in a divorce?
In most cases, both spouses will be able to claim a piece of ownership. But that’s not always the case. The cleanest of all scenarios is if you got married, then bought your home together, and you live in a community property state. In that case, the value is relatively easy to determine. Each spouse would be entitled to receive 50% of the equity.
What should I do if my spouse is delaying the divorce?
Specifically, you can deny your spouse’s request to cancel a deposition for the third time and file a formal motion, asking a judge to issue sanctions (fines or other punishments) against your spouse. You may also be able to recoup some of the attorney’s fees you spent on the motion.

How does a spouse speed up the divorce process?
