Re: property laws in marriage

It depends. There are variations of the law.. ex. if the spouse owned the property 2 years prior to the marriage but was married 20 years and the other spouse contributed..directly and indirectly..that spouse may have some equity in the property. Please seek the advice of an attorney in your area.
