Generally, if the house was purchased before marriage, the estranged husband has no right to it. That is what my lawyer told me today.

You should discuss it with your own attorney since there are factors that could change the situation. For example, if your husband inherited money and then used it to build an addition on your home he would be entitled to an interest.

Maybe. The reason I say maybe because it depends on one or two things. Did he help make house payments after you got married? If he did then he has an interest in the house. Did he do any work on the house while you were married? Painted it, fixed things, added a room? If he did he has an interest in the house. With these things he put labor or money or both into the house and now he is entitled to part of your house. I had a neighbor across the street from me who had a house when she married her ex husband and when they divorced he got the house. She lost it because of the conditions I just listed. Get a good lawyer and you may just save your house.

If your married and want a divorce, unless you have a prenuptial agreement, your spouse is entitled to half of everything. It does not matter if it was bought prior to the marriage or not.

Renesmee Cullen was born in the Cullens' house because she was half-vampire, and half-human and no one was even supposed to know that Bella was pregnant. So, obviously, she had to be born in the privacy of her husband's house, and away from humans who would freak out to know that the baby was half-vampire, and would faint in disbelief.
