[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was not an inheritance.  It was income from a job that he received after we were married from stock options - some of which he received before we were married.  But he used the money to buy a house that we own together and in which we currently live.

Again, that money belonged to both of you, not him, and the appreciation on the house will be split evenly.[/quote]

Likely true, but not a given[/quote]

Well you can either agree to do it that way, or stupidly spend money on lawyers so that eventually the judge does it for you. Your call.[/quote]

I have just been through this nightmare. Md law is bizarrely fragmented eg MoCo has slightly different approach compared to other counties. You’ll have to make a judgement call about how hard you pursue this vs going to court.   Add to that you have the whim of a judge as to what is fair.  Which is to say I don’t think other people’s experiences are helpful.  I know someone who spent $200k in legal costs alone.
Family law is a money pit .... for lawyers [/quote]
