[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would there an issue if you own the house and then your spouse move-in with you? What can they claim during divorce - share of the appreciation or the monthly mortgage payments?[/quote]

They cannot claim anything  - it's a premarital asset. Just do not commingle. They can pay utilities and cable. [/quote]

That's what I thought. Any premarital asset if not co-mingled should be fine with a new marriage and subsequent divorce (if any). My question was if any one has strength in claiming that they shared the mortgage or any maintenance makes them eligible for any share in the appreciation during the married years. [/quote]

They would need to prove that - and keep their receipts. They couldn’t force a sale like with a joint asset. If they aren’t paying the mortgage- they are essentially getting free rent. Utilities/cable don’t go towards equity. I wouldn’t have them make mortgage payments or contributions towards capital improvements. [/quote]
