No, unless you inherited the house or received it as a gift, the house is subject to division.  You may be awarded the house, but you will have to “buy-out” your spouse’s interest in the

house.  The fact that the house is titled in just your name does not mean that your spouse has no marital interest in the property.Additionally, even if you inherited the house or received it as a gift, the property may have been transmuted from property not subject to division to property that is subject to division.  Please give us a call to discuss any of these issues.
