It all depends on your state, If its a common law state or marital.

Also depends if your on deed. If its Pennsylvania for example you must be on the deed to have ownership interest. In NJ however, vesting on title is implied by the marriage. You don't have to physically be on title. Could be split 50/50 or you could get nothing. Depends on a multitude of factors and the skill of your attorney.

If a spouse owns the property prior to marriage then marry and live in the property does the relationship automatically create a tenancy by the entirety?

No. What is yours before the marriage is yours, but there is one "hook" in this. If the person you marry invests in the house by payments or improvements then they may have a right to your house if you divorce. I own my home and will never let anyone make payments or improve my house if I marry. The gal across the street did that and when they divorced he got the house.
