The court ordered the forced sale of the marital home and the equal division of proceeds between the ex-spouses. The husband requested the sale to relieve himself of mortgage liability, while the wife sought to retain ownership with their children. The court ruled that the wife's interest in remaining in the home was not significantly greater than the husband's right to division, mandating the sale. Consequently, the judgment was made immediately executable to facilitate the sale and debt resolution.
