Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

concerning asset division in case of divorce

My boyfriend and I are going to be getting married. He wants to build a house and put it in his name and pay for it himself. He thinks I should just put money away in a bank account and pay the utilities on the house. He says that then we will split the rest of the bills such as cars, kids, etc. We are going to have a prenuptual agreement since we both already own our own property currently. If we were to get divorced in the future, will the courts rule that he gets the house and I get what is in my savings account? Or will they make us split everything in half since they were acquired after we were married? Some of the money to build the house he has already saved in a savings account. Thank you.
