First of all, it is important to know whether this house is a dispute under matrimonial property law. In other words, does the division of this house arise directly from the marriage or its termination. If there is a community of property, this is the case: after all, the community ends when the petition for divorce is filed. The judge asked to pronounce the divorce will then also decide on the division of the house.
However, if there is a total exclusion of the community (e.g. if you have made prenuptial agreements) and house is in joint names, it is not always the divorce judge who decides on the division of the house abroad. This question is then assessed under the EEX Convention: the court of the defendant's domicile has jurisdiction to rule on this division.
But does that court also have jurisdiction to rule on the delivery? That is not the case, which is again the court where the property is located. For the question of which law is applicable, refer to the answer to question 2.
