[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]stop being greedy. if the relationship didn't work out just leave don't to take everything from the other partner. You said it was "owned" prior. "household expenses" are food and stuff. Just move on.[/quote] I'm the OWNER. Not greedy. Protecting MY HOUSE. [/quote]

If you don't have a prenup, you're likely in for a rude awakening.

This happened to my friend. She bought a house, got married, got divorced. No prenup, despite the fact that we told her to get one.

All the equity that they had built in the house (there was considerable appreciation) was still considered joint, and she had to pay him out to the tune of six figures. There was documented abuse, too. Judge didn't give a flip. Oh, and the "I paid the mortgage out of MY money!" argument was pretty much laughed at, considering that money is fungible. In other words, his paying for "household expenses", groceries and whatnot, freed up her cash to keep and maintain the house. With no prenup or trust, it's likely to be considered one pot.

Yes, we know. He was an unemployed abusive loser who lived on the couch. It's all your money!

Errr.  Nope. That's not how it works in the eyes of the law. You picked him! Choose better next time or get a prenup.
