Re: Could I lose my house or pay alimony?

You can only be made to support your own children, not others (unless you adopt them).

As a general rule, a home owned before the marriage remains yours, unless she significantly affected the value during the marriage.

We'd have to know a lot more about your situation to discuss alimony.
