      You'll most likely lose it or have to pay a nice settlement to keep it.

        It depends on how long it last's. You might have to sell it and split the $$.

          Always make your fiance sign a prenup. If she doesnt want to sign then its a good sign she's just another woman that wants a provider.

              It also depends on where you like. Florida is NOT a community property state.

                My uncle is getting divorced right now. He had his house prior to getting married.

                According to him, she has no claim on the house.

                I'd only take that as the truth coming from a lawyer...which he is not. BUT...he has been though this once before and is in the process again, so he might be correct.

                Spend you some brain.

                    What a bunch of bullshit answers. Talk to a lawyer and put it in a land trust.

                          Get your intended spouse to sign a prenuptial agreement -- this is a very common and accepted practice amongst adults.
                          It is not looked upon badly unless the other party has shit and has ulterior motives.

                                Which is why I said I wouldn't take the advice as legit unless coming from a lawyer.

                                    prenuptial agreement is the magic word Jedi

                                    get a good lawyer and put pen to paper... have him setup a waterproof prenup and you'll be fine

I have, and had over the decades, friends that have lost everything (not just the Eddie Murphy 'half') simply because they were convinced a prenup was not romantic.

                                          If you are telling me, I need help ... that is my personal opinion based on what I have seen others go through throughout my life - I genuinely suffer when friends do and what I have seen has enforced a 20-year old belief.

                                          Not trying to be rude, or destroy tradition ... gold diggers did that all on their own.

                                            I think this is correct, but I believe there may be exceptions in certain states.

                                            Whats the statistic now? Something like 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce. Would you drive a car without insurance if you knew that there was a 50% chance that you'd get in an accident that would get you sued and you'd lose half of your assets? Fuck no!

                                              how about this for an answer: IF YOU NEED TO QUESTION: don't let the bitch move in....

                                              Having gone thru this, I'll tell you one thing----no matter what you do, there are ways around it, or at least ways to make it difficult for you....

                                              The only ones who win are the laywers....


                                              Why not incorporate the house and have her buy in?
                                              --she'll make payments...even if she doesn't make payments, it's now contract law. you can show she owns olny 10% of the house due to the payments she made

                                                Truth be told every divorce is different and what matters the most is if you have children and how long your together.

                                                You have no kids and your married just a few years than you probably owe her non of it.

                                                You have kids and your married 10 years than you will owe her a large portion of it.

                                                                      Here's the way it works. Lets say you own a $300,000 house and get married. 5 years later you get divorced. All she is entitled to is what was acquired during the marriage. So if the house went up in value after 5 years to $350,000 she is entitled to half of the $50,000 and anything else acquired during the marriage.

                                                                      Comment

                                                                              " * Mississippi is the lone state that bases property division in divorce on who holds legal title. If the property is jointly held, it gets equitably divided.
                                                                              * Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin are community property states. In general, this means that property either spouse owned before marriage and the income it has produced are separate property. So are separate gifts, inheritance, property accumulated after separation. Property accumulated during marriage is to be split equally.
                                                                              * All other states (including the District of Columbia) use some form of equitable distribution, meaning the property division should be fair, and it should be equitable, but it's not necessarily equal. "

                                                                              There is a problem in community property states where co-mingling of funs can make situations like yours a bit stickier. Say the home is in your name and so is the loan, you get married and pay the mortgage out of a joint bank account that both of you put money into.... can be an arguing point.

                                                                                    A pre-nup really depends on the people and their relationship. I only see myself getting married to a certain kind of person, though if a different kind of person comes into the picture, I may really not know what their motives are, might not be a good idea to get married with them, but if it is on the table, then I'd definitely want a prenup.. it'd be wonderful not to need one of course..

                                                                                              She cohabits with another partner for 6 months or more
                                                                                              She gets married
                                                                                              The kids reach 18 years old.

                                                                                              You could still be liable for the mortgage in some cases also.

                                                                                              - if you are married you are basically fucked.... prenupts are not legally binding contracts and the court WILL have the ultimate power of who gets what..... it makes no odds why you split - she could of gangbanged the local football team... it doesn't matter. And if you have kids then of course she will get your house, your pension, the car - and you will pay child support.

                                                                                              .
