Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

It depend on a whole bunch of things, but generally things acquired DURING THE MARRIAGE are divided equally in a divorce. Things you had prior to the marriage stay with you. But if you've been married 20 years, say, and the house was worth $100,000 at the time of the marriage and is worth $300,000 today, you'd get the $100,000 it was worth at marriage, but the $200,000 appreciation during the marriage would be up for grabs. It depends on the length of the marriage, who put money down, etc.
