Can my ex force the sale of our house during the middle of our divorce?

The sale of a family home is typically an issue reserved for trial. However, in some limited cases the court may permit the sale of an asset to avoid unreasonable market or investment risks to the community estate (Family Code 2108).

If you are seeking to sell the house before a trial date (meaning that you want to sell the house in the middle of the dissolution process), we encourage you to seek out expert advice to determine whether a court would be likely to grant that motion.
