[quote=Anonymous]How long has he owned the house, how much of his own pre-marital money went into it (down payment, mortgage payments, repairs & maintenance) before you got married? Estimate how much equity he had in the house before marriage percentage-wise, increase it by a reasonable amount for any pre-marital repairs and maintenance. That would be his undivisible share of the house. The remaining percentage split it in half and that might give you a reasonable estimate of your share. For example, let's say he had 30% equity in the house by the time you got married. If he put in a significant amount of money in upgrades before marriage, add some percentage points that are proportional ... let's say it was enough to raise his stake to 40% of the house value. The remaining 60% of the current equity is marital and you get half of that. Let's say you currently have $300k equity. $120k is his;$180k is joint. Half of $180k = $90k out of $300k equity is your share.[/quote]
