Unless the matrimonial home is jointly owned, there is no right to “half” the home but instead, a right to have whatever equity lies within the home included in property/asset division. In terms of possession of the home, both spouses have an equal right to possession pursuant to section 19 of the Family Law Act.
Can spouse be on title but not mortgage?

You can put your spouse on the title without putting them on the mortgage; this would mean that they share ownership of the home but aren’t legally responsible for making mortgage payments.
What happens if you buy a house with a partner then split up?
If you buy someone out of a joint mortgage, you’ll need to take ownership of their share of the property – this is called a ‘transfer of equity’. However, if you own the property as tenants in common, the remaining owners can split the rest of the mortgage and any equity between you. Again, this may mean remortgaging.
