The home is in my name only.

Only married 3 months and already worried about what she may get. Time to get out before you buy anything else and next time you decide to marry make sure you want to be married to her. This is sad but what some people do and feel after marrying.

Depends on the state that you live in. States have different rules. Some states like NJ state that if you spend 1 night together in the house. Then half is hers. If you own property but you never spent any time there together then that property is not contestable in a divorce. So check with your state and a competent divorce lawyer. Even if you aren't thinking about a divorce they will know the answer. That's what they do after all.

Don't tell me you are already questioning you marriage, or thinking about what would happen if you two get a divorce. Are you not so confident in your marriage that you would ask such a question? But, yes she is entitled to at least half, because you bought it while you two were married. Had you bought the house before you two married, she could not touch it; this really depends on which state you are residing in.

You married 3 months ago and your wife just moved in today. What kind of a marriage were you planning on? Didn't you plan on your wife and you living together???? Why did you marry this woman??? Wow, that is a new angle for me.

If you are in a community property state, yes because the transaction was after you married.

Depends on the state, and if you consummated the union. But if you are worried about the legality of property, maybe you should two step out of that dance.

It depends what state you live in. Are you in a community property state? In a community property state your wife owns half of all your property no matter what. In other states, it's more complicated.

Dude, you got me a little confused but if you are married to her then she has as much legalities to the home as you do.

Yes...and any assets acquired after your marriage. It makes no difference when she moved in....its when the asset was purchased....and you where husband and wife when you bought it.

Yes, it's community property if it was purchased after marriage.
