This is confusing. When you say "mom" do you really mean spouse? If so, any property purchased after you are married, particularly where both names are on the deed, is PRESUMED to be "marital" property. As to property bought BEFORE marriage, it depends in part on HOW you are named in the deed. Cash is irrelevant. take the deeds to an attorney for a complete review and opinion.
