[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DW here - if I bought a house and had equity in it, I’d want to protect that in case of divorce. My husband could buy-in the house if he wanted to contribute financially. In fact, I’ve known several people who married and had clauses in their prenup that kept the majority of house equity separate until they were married for a certain time period and then they would add them to the title. With divorce rates so high, why take the risk of signing over your house? [/quote]

Yeah this is a pretty basic prenup clause but it usually protects the equity not the title— so the house is appraised before marriage, and that figure is cordoned off. A friend of mine lives in a home that is owned by her husbands family trust and there is a provision for her that basically adds the equivalent of a mortgage payment every month to her settlement that makes up for the fact that she has no equity or ownership in the home she lives in and would be homeless the day a divorce was final. What OP describes is his wife having literally no stake in a marital home and *that* is highly unusual and a lawyer would have told her to run.[/quote]
