Decide who pays for repairs during the dissolution, who should sell and how long they have to sell? If one party agrees to buy out the other party, when do you appraise the house? What if one party made the down payment with money earned prior to marriage, but after marriage put the house deed in both names as joint tenants?

The house is community property and the spouse who made a down payment may have “gifted” the property to the other spouse. Some courts will award the spouse a return of the down payment and then split the net equity.
