[Frustrated in NewJersey]

We have been married for 6 yrs but living together for a total of 8 yrs with 1 child together. If my spouse had a home before we met am I entitled to any part of the home in the event of a divorce?

From reading these BBs from time to time I would say that the answer to your question is no

Hold on!

It very much depends on whether the house was owned lock, stock and barrel prior to the marriage.

If s/he contributed to any of the repayments, refurbishments, furniture etc. then they are entitled to something.

Hopefully one of our legal team will pop in and give Frustrated the low down.
