Re: my rights

The court will do what is fair after considering all the evidence. I would argue that you have a right to some of the increase in equity in the home after you got married. Depending upon the circumstances, you may be entitled to a buyout, alimony, and other support depending on the facts. What's working against you is the brevity of the marriage. Please call or email if you wish to discuss this.
