[quote=Anonymous]I'd probably do it like this. Say he had $100K of equity when you moved in. Say the mortgage was $2,000/mo and he paid $1,200 and you paid $800. Say you had this arrangement for 5 years, or 60 months. Say, also, he used $50K of marital money to pay down the mortgage - $25K was yours, $25K was his. What he's put into the house would be $100K + $72,000 ($1,200x60) + $25K. What you put into the house would be $0K + $48K ($800x60) + $25K. Of the total $270K put into the house, his share is 73%; yours is 27%. Multiply that percentage by the estimated net value of the house if it were to sell (Sale price less transaction fees) - let's say that would be $500K. You'd walk away with 27% x $500K = $135,185. Which is a gain on your initial $73K investment.[/quote]
