Separated couple home sale with only one spouse's name on the title in California

Separated couple:

1. Has a court order specifying how primary residence sale proceeds will be split

2. Both filing as single

3. Only one spouse's name is on the title, so net proceeds from the home sale initially go to that spouse's bank account

Question:

What home sale amount should each spouse specify in their respective tax returns and where? Should any supporting documentation be sent to IRS and how?
