Scenario: A couple is getting a legal seperation and as part of the marriage settlement agreement, one party keeps the house and pays the other party out their equity in cash.

As if the couple reconciles and ends the separation, their assets are shared again. So, the party is half owner of the house again and the other party is basically out the equity they paid out?
