Divorce; wife owns 12% of house. Payment for her share: date she moved out or date of divorce for her 12%?
Asked in Charlottesville, VA Last answered on November 11, 2026My wife and I have been married for 10 years. She owns 12% of our house. Is her 12% based on the value of the house on the date she moved out or on the date of divorce? She has not been back to the house since she moved out.

Virtual Appointments Her interest would be based on many factors including marital contributions during the marriage, and since the separation. If her move out date is the same thing as the date of separation, that would decide how much separate interest you may have in the home compared to the marital interest.
