[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have already been discussions with the lawyer about this scenario, but even they said it really depends on the judge and how they decide to rule, so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their outcome? This is in DC.

The current home was purchased during the marriage with the proceeds from the sale of a home purchased prior to marriage by Spouse 1. The mortgage and title were only in Spouse 1's name, and all payments were made from Spouse 1's personal banking account. Where it gets tricky is that Spouse 2 did occasionally transfer money into Spouse 1's banking account, although it was not a significant amount of money. Spouse 2 also had their own separate banking account during the marriage, and no joint accounts existed.

Any chance of the house being ruled as Spouse 1's separate property? If it's ruled marital, what could be a likely "equitable distribution" of the house?[/quote]

How long have you been married? Is their name on the deed? [/quote]

6 years and no.[/quote]
