Re: Division of Property
You really need to ask this question, and others, of your attorney, who would know all the facts.
Generally, a house you owned prior to the marriage would not be subject to Equitable Distribution, but if the house was the marital residence, and if marital funds went into the mortgage or improvments, etc., then most judges would give her a part of the house.
Suggest you consult with an experienced matrimonial attorney.
