If he had the house before you were married, you may be entitled to a portion of any increase in value. Was the house paid for when you married him? If not, did he make mortgage payments with marital income? What is his father's interest in the property? Does the father make mortgage payments or improvements to the house.
You may want to schedule an office visit with an attorney to discuss your value claim in the house and other marital assets.
