Not in a community property state, they can't.

Yep - Most states will split the properties 50/50 and maybe even order them all sold and the money split!
I went through a divorce where my ex left our marital home to be repossessed - I moved in and saved the home, but she then took me back to court where I was ordered to sell the home immediately and split any proceeds? So yeah, divorce stinks!

Dear Zuzu,
In every state, if you owned property before the marriage and can prove you owned it before the marriage, the spouse has no right to any of that property when divorcing - no matter how long the marriage lasts.

yes perhaps so... if it's been brought into the marrriage.
some people are kind enough to make agreements to let each other have the things they brought into the marriage or bought... if you two can put everything else aside long enough to figure out who-gets-what, maybe that would help? it can all be put into the divorce agreement, once you've decided.
take care, and consult your attorney

Depends where you live.
The only way you are going to find the answer to this question is to contact a lawyer.

most states are 50/50 unless you have something in writing that was notarized
