Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
Equitable distribution in Pennsylvania
My friend has been married for 30years, living in the house her husband bought before marriage. Is the increase in the value of the house during the marriage considered marital property and therefore subject to equitable distribution in Pennsylvania divorce?

If the parties have been married for 30 years, in most counties, the entire value of the house would be marital.
