The family home is one of the most contentious assets to resolve in many divorces. The court considers many different factors to assess which spouse makes the most sense to remain in the home and what other assets could be granted to the other spouse to achieve equity. A huge influence on this final decision will be where both spouses plan to live post-divorce. If one parent plans to remain in the same school district as where their children currently attend, the court may prioritize awarding the home to that parent to minimize the disruption that the kids may face if forced to switch schools.
