Well, my boyfriend and I are planning to purchase a house within the next month. I am putting down $100,000 and he is only putting down $20,000. If we ever marry then divorce, would the $100,000 I put down on the house be considered pre-marital property since the house was purchased way before we were married? Is there any way to make sure I get my $100,000 back in the event of a divorce?

Maybe you should consider an antenuptial agreement limited to the house. Something more along the lines of a contract regarding the purchase and sale of the house partnership.
You should speak to an attorney in your state. The laws of community property vary from state to state. Whatever the laws are in your state there is going to be a way to protect your assets. Nobody except an expert in your state will be able to tell you for sure what is the best way to protect your money.

I would consider this marriage and the house-buying , very long & very hard before doing this. It IS considered pre-marital, BUT...the laws in your state may change by the time a divorce comes around...so for G**ds' sake--GET AN IRON-CLAD PRE-NUP!
And think about it from the money aspect....he's "only" contributing 20G on a home ( which is like-nothing, these days.) ....how much would he contribute to childcare and husband-ly duties ?? 20 % ???

Better talk to a lawyer. Each state's marital property laws are different. If you have a contract drawn up BEFORE you buy the house expressing your ownership rights, it should hold up in any state, but again....TALK TO A LAWYER.

touch your lawyer approximately family individuals regulation. If this became no longer disclosed in the process the courtroom situations, it ought to have been handed over 'on objective' or might have been an uncomplicated oversight. Get a replica of the pre-nup. which could flow up for renegotiation, the cabin. you're able to could document below impressive circumstances in the different province. it ought to no longer mean a fifty-fifty contract: you're able to get a third of it.

for a 100,000 dollar investment you are going to risk it on yahoo answers instead of getting a lawyers advice for 200 dollars?
