[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you don't work and didn't pay anything towards the house, why would you expect the house to be in your name too? It's not fair to your husband. [/quote]

+1.  If your husband paid all cash for the house with money he brought prior to the marriage, then whether you work or not you have no entitlement to the house.  I don't think it would be marital property unless you could demonstrate that you contributed money to it's upkeep and repair or you contributed some kind of significant work to it's increase in value.  That would mean something like you were entirely in charge of a renovation (not redecoration) worked with all the contractors, supervised, etc. that increased the value of the house.  Then you might be able to argue that you were entitled to some portion of the increase of the value of the house.

If your husband is very wealthy or has access to family money, then it is very common to sign a prenup to protect assets he brought to marriage, and I'm not sure why you think you should have a share in that money. [/quote]
