If the house was purchased during the time you were married, it is considered a joint asset. It will be included in the marital assets for equitable division according to the laws of your state.

Depends on where you live and when the house was purchased. If it was purchased after marriage some countries/states regard it as joint property; you get half even if you're not on the deed. If it was purchased by your ex-husband before the marriage, the chances are it belongs only to him. Check with your solicitor/lawyer.

You don't need to be married to have joint ownership. If your name is on the deed, you are an owner.

If I were married 8 years ago and before you met your husband you purchased a house that you still live in if you get divorced what happens to the house It is in your name maiden only?

Assuming all legal issues work out so that you get the house, then before you got the house, it would be under your name. If you changed your last name to match your husbands, then the ownership of the house would be under your new name. Then you get divorced, you get the house, it's still right now under your new name unless you legally change your name back to your maiden name. The ownership name follows your name.
