[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally understand your position, but from his position, if he moves in with you, then he is essentially paying rent that helps you build equity in your home.  That isn't fair to him.[/quote]

That’s not how marital property division in equitable jurisdictions works. If he helps pay the mortgage then he would be entitled to an equitable share of the equity. I guess if he doesn’t actually plan to get married then that is an issue. [/quote]

They are talking about moving in together before getting married.  And marital property varies by state; I would not make blanket statements about property rights across states.  [/quote]

I think it's pretty standard for couples to move in together before marriage, and if one person owns and has a nicer place, they live there and let the non-owner pay some rent to be fair.  It doesn't have to be 50/50, but there needs to be a fair contribution, however you work that out. [b]When you buy something after marriage, unless you have a prenup (and you should), it all becomes marital property and subject to a 50/50 split if you divorce[/b].  [/quote]

Thanks for reminding not to remarry. I am not sharing my new house with anyone. You keep place, I keep mine, and we alternate visiting one another. I rather my kids inherit my house.[/quote]
