Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I bought my house while my girlfriend and I were dating. We lived together in the house roughly 4 years before we decided to get married. We have been married four years now and are separated at this point. My name is the only one on the deed so I am wondering is she entitled to half the equity if the house is ever sold ?

she is entitled to four years of equity if she can establish that she contributed to the care and maintenance of the property. She will be entitled to the first four years if she can show that she used her income to help you purchase the property. Would need to know more as to finances.
Probably not but only a Judge can issue a definitive decision. May depend on whether or not she contributed to the purchase and upkeep of the property.
