Is the house half mine?
My wife and I got married in 1994, and moved into the house her father gave her, when he passed away. It is still in her maiden name. Is the house legally half mine?

Not half, but you do get a %. As Mr. Davies said, you should speak to an attorney before you do anything. You cannot consider these issues in a vacuum. You should consider all of the issues together.
My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Inheritance and gifts from third parties are not subject to equitable distribution in a divorce unless, in this instance, your name was added to the deed to the house by your wife or you have substantially added value to the house through your efforts.
