Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Hello,
In Pennsylvania, what is true and accurate as far as marital property is concerned. For example: My dad bought me a car several years before I married my husband. If we got divorced, would my husband be able to have any claim towards my car since it was something that was brought into the marriage instead of acquired during the marriage? I've researched this online and all sources are saying that he can't take my car or even require me to pay him half for it. However, a friend of ours, who is usually correct about legal matters, said that it doesn't matter whether or not I brought it into the marriage. She said it would be treated the same as if I had bought it during our marriage. Also, I will note that we have only been married for less than 2 years. He refuses to keep a job and I'm sick of him mooching off of me.
Thank You,
H.P.

Ask your friend what their Supreme Court ID number is. If they have no idea what you are talking about then never ask them a legal question again.

Besides your friend is totally WRONG. No matter how long you've been married.
