PRE-NUP is only answer.. and dont have any kids with her or she might be able to get the house then as well even if she had signed a pre nup... if you have a brother or sister or any other family( that you trust!!) put the house in their name.. and put it in trust for someone..

Smart thinking!! Depending on where you live will depend on your answer. I would contact a real estate attorney and also a divorce attorney and compare their answers. If you are still unsure how about a pre-marital agreement. I would definitely protect my interests. You never know how a marriage will work out.

That totally depends on what state you live in. In Massachusetts, it doesn't matter who's name the house is in. If a divorce was to occur then that property is 50% yours and your spouses.

this depends on what state you are in, and where you get married. in texas, you enter the marriage with set assets and it is the "marital" assets which are split on a divorce... not those that you can define as pre-marriage assets (like real estate)

if you are thinking about getting married and are worried about divorce already dont get married. Ask a lawyer about your house, i doubt she would get half because her name isnt on it, but you never know now adays.

depends if your woman wants to fight for stuff or not... and what circumstances the divorce happened.
For example if you split up because she cheated on you you wouldn't have to give her anything.
If it was your choice to divorce because you met someone else then she can get half of everything.
Crap aint it?

If it's a major concern, get a pre-nup agreement.
However, if that's worrying you that much, should you be considering marriage at all...?
