All property acquired during a marriage with marital money (all money earned during the marriage) belongs to both parties no matter in whose name the title is. If he bought the house with his father's money which he inherited or received as a gift, then it is his EXCEPT that if you may payments and the community paid for upkeep, then you are entitled to at least a portion.

You will need a lawyer to work this out because it will be complicated.
