Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Divorce

I live in Ohio and am recently separated. When we were engaged I put $40,000 down, from an inheritance, on a new build home. All paperwork and bank info was in my name because her credit was terrible. The home was not finished until after we were married. Does she have any rights to that $40,000. Also. I refinanced twice, also with all paperwork in my name
