Talk to an attorney. You should have interest in equity even if you're not on title.

It depends upon when it was purchased, what money was used to purchase the house, and ultimately, who wants it.

If the property was purchased during the marriage, it is marital property no matter how it is titled. The court may order the home sold and the net proceeds divided or order that your wife buys out your interest in the property. It helps if you contributed to the mortgage payments, taxes, insurance and other home expenses during your marriage.

Probably her, but you may get half the value if it is community property. Talk with your divorce attorney about it.
