Re: seperation
I always recommend that people wait until the divorce is final before buying property because the law presumes that any property bought during the marriage belongs to both parties. However, you may have an argument that the property is yours alone because of your lengthy separation before the purchase. These arguments are generally successful, and most judges will agree that she gets none of the house.
