Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Property gained before a marriage

If house was obtained before a marriage would this property be owned as tenants in common rather than jointly or tenants by entirety? And if so could a case be established to make provisions for a decedents child who did not own the property originally but was a tenant in common?
