The former matrimonial home is the sole significant matrimonial asset and its value is sufficient to meet both parties' needs; this is therefore a sharing case. Absent compelling reasons to depart from equal division, a 50:50 split of net sale proceeds is fair. The husband's general assertion of residential need and reliance on joint tenancy does not justify refusal to sell. Accordingly an order for sale with directions and a clean break division of net proceeds 50:50 is made; husband must vacate to enable sale and costs are awarded to the wife.
