Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

As a general rule, property purchased before the marriage remains his unless you can show you made a significant financial or other contribution to it, or unless you were added yo the deed. And you need a lawyer, immediately.

The answer is no and yes. Normally, if a residence was purchased by a party prior to the marriage, and title has remained in that spouse's name, that spouse is awarded the residence. However, any value that has accrued during the marriage is considered marital property. The same is true for retirement plans. Monies contributed to a plan during the marriage can be marital. You really need to speak with an attorney and not try this on your own.
