If my name is on the title, do I get half of it?

There is a joint title presumption if you are on title to the property. Also, if the community was paying the mortgage loan the community would also have an interest for that reason. Unless there is other evidence that you and your spouse did not intend to be equal owners, you would probably be half owner. If either of you put in a down payment, that person may be entitled to a reimbursement.
