Not necisarily. If you are married and the house was bought after the marriage then no. If you are married and the house was bought before the marriage and the person that did not originaly buy the house made one payment on it or you had a joint account that the payments came out of, then they are half owner. If you are just living together with no marriage, then the house it the person's that bought it, but you have to be carful of common law marriage.

Usually a house is part of the divorce since it was bought while there was a marriage. This means that both of you have an interest in the house. You will have to settle with your husband what will happen with the house.
