The home is marital property, even though it is just in her name, since it was purchased during the marriage. Therefore, you will be entitled to a share of the equity in the home.

However, realistically she is probably the one who is going to be able to keep the home. Its solely in her name and you probably wouldn't qualify for a mortgage to buy her out if you are living on disability.

How old are the kids?
