    She's on the deed so she's a part owner and has rights to use the property.

    If you want to keep the house, make that part of the divorce decree.

    A divorce would be incomplete without some mention of what becomes of the house.

    No. Not just because she is on the deed. You are on the deed too. You are getting divorced. Q.E.D.: one or the other of you has to be given ownership of and the right to occupy the house.
