Can a house be sold during a divorce if only one spouse wants to sell?

A house can be sold during a divorce even if only one spouse initially wants to, but it generally requires either the other spouse's eventual agreement or a family court order compelling the sale, since South Carolina needs every titled owner's consent otherwise. A judge handling the divorce can order a sale as part of dividing marital property if the couple cannot agree. Brian Beatty waits for that legal authority to be clear before listing a contested property.
