Answer:
In Pennsylvania, a spouse can sell their property without the other spouse's consent if their name is solely on the deed. However, since you are married and did not sign a prenuptial agreement, you have legal rights regarding the division of marital assets.
Pennsylvania follows equitable distribution laws, meaning marital assets and debts are divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Factors considered include the length of the marriage, the financial situation of both spouses, and contributions to each other's earning potential. The court does not consider fault in the marriage's end during this process.
