Answer

Yes, the names on the loan agreement are irrelevant ownership is determined by the titling of the property. Tennessee is an equitable property state meaning property that is acquired during a marriage is divided so as each spouse has a fair (but not necessarily equal) share. A 50-50 split of marital property is guaranteed by law only in community property states. Other states have laws that address how the property was acquired during the marriage, such as an inheritance, monetary awards in personal injury lawsuits, pension annuities distribution regulations (such as RRB benefits), and so forth.
