Re: does he get half?
Under Kentucky law, your interest in the house is "premarital," and your new husband has no interest in it, unless you put his name on the deed or leave it to him in your will.
In any event, you should be sure to write a new will just as soon as you get married, and a prenuptual agreement is not a bad idea.
You are best advised to consult a Kentucky attorney with some experience in family law for a full explanation of your rights and responsibilities.
You can call or email the Kentucky Bar Association for an appropriate referral.

You do not need a prenup for divorce because KY law is as I answered prior. However, you may need a prenup for death and a corresponding will.
