Mr. LeGore is correct in that the name on the home's deed typically does not matter much in a Washington court's analysis. Generally a judge will award each spouse his or her separate property and approximately half the community property. If the home in question is "yours" but not in your name, I assume you mean you purchased it prior to the marriage or received it as an inheritance. In that case, the home is probably your separate property, and the court would probably award it to you. A truly good answer to this question would require more factual information. The two main factual questions are: 1) when was the house purchased, and 2) where did the money to purchase the home came from? Our firm has an article entitled "Who Gets the House?"

No, if you married in WA we live in a community property, no fault divorce state. It doesn't matter if your name isn't on the title or the mortgage if you've been in the house, and you're a full time mom.
