[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just some thoughts:

You can get a prenuptial agreement to deal with the property, but honestly if you are married in Maryland, all property, no matter how titled, is considered marital property, so you'd get your fair share in a divorce.

My husband is similar and wants to live in the country.  I want to live in the city.  We are right in the middle in Rockville.    What is it about the country that appeals to him?  Are those specific things something you can find closer in?  Would some place like Darnestown with bigger pieces of property make him feel like it's a country setting, while keeping you closer in?

I was the one to give primary care to our child when he was born.  I worked close to where I live, which I think is important, because I had to pick up our son from day care when sick, for snow days, etc.   It is extremely helpful to have someone close to the day care situation.  It may be different if you get a nanny, but keep those logistics in mind.

This post is inaccurate.  If the boyfriend buys a house in his name before they are married, I don't think it's necessarily considered marital property, even in Maryland.

OP is a fool if she contributes to the mortgage but doesn't get her name on the deed.

OP, it sounds like you and your BF aren't ready to make a house purchase together.    Do you currently live together?  Can you rent for a year or two?

No, you are incorrect. Once married, it's all marital property. There will be fund tracing done. He may be able to keep his down payment. Maybe. But once married, it's their property and distributed 50/50 barring very limited exceptions. [/quote]
