In general, its best not to leave unless you don't want permanent possession of the home, or don't have any children, until the judge awards possession to one of the parties.

IF the home was purchased by the husband prior to the marriage would it still be half the wife's?

is she on the deed?

No, but she did help pay for the house and the upkeep. The house was purchased about 2-3 years prior to the marriage. It is now 10 years old.
