[quote=Anonymous]I am not a lawyer -- you need to consult one for accurate information.  But I just got divorced and here is what I recall.  Assets that he had before the marriage will remain his unless they are comingled into other finances (your marital home may qualify, but it might not).  Any assets gained after the marriage are fair game.  This WOULD include the marital home (with the possible exception of the inherited down payment).  It doesn't really matter whether you are on the deed or not, it is community property.

In Maryland, you have the right to stay in the marital home for up to three years after the divorce.  He can not kick you out.  However, I don't think you can kick him out either...

Don't try to do a collaborative divorce.  He will skewer you by getting legal counsel and you won't know what hit you.

You may not get much alimony == probably a max of about 3-5 years, but you should get significant  child support.

Start stashing away your own money NOW.  Open a bank account in your name only.  Remove assets from your joint accounts and put some away for you. You will need it for your legal fees.  When you go grocery shopping, get cash back.  Purchase gifts cards when you buy groceries for target and giant, etc. -- that you can use if he cuts off funds.[/quote]
