Q: If a couple divorcing can't decide on the selling price of the home who decides who gets the right to sell it their way?
And if a court ruling is required for this and one spouse has proof that they paid more on the mortgage than the other spouse, does that give them a favorable stance in getting a ruling for them to sell it the way they want to or transfer the mortgage they want to?

A: The court decides. Paying more on the mortgage is only one of many factors that the court would use in splitting all assets, not necessarily just the equity from the house.
