More information is needed. However, generally under New Jersey law, it does not matter whose name is on the deed or mortgage. If the property was gotten during the marriage, it can be subject to equitable distribution. Equitable means fair and therefore not necessarily 50/50. Again, more information such as which of you contributed what to the property needs to be analyzed.
