Dear Anonymous,
It is not clear whether or not Massachusetts has jurisdiction in this matter. The following information is based on Massachusetts law. Your marriage will be considered a long-term marriage. Marital assets are normally divided equally in a long-term marriage. Assets that are held in either spouses individual name are generally considered marital assets in a long-term marriage. Absent an extraordinary situation, it is likely that the house will be divided equally.
