Generally, women get the house in a divorce because they will have physical custody of the children and the court tries to cause the least disruption in the child's life. Generally, provisions are made for the home to be sold when the child reaches eighteen or the woman takes over the mortgage payments and refinances the mortgage in her own name. Also, generally, women are still considered to be at a financial disadvantage in their ability to acquire future assets.
