Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
I bought house - he wants 1/2 of what I put down
We bought house before getting married - I paid all up front money on down payment and closing - We are divorcing now and he wants 1/2 of all proceeds from the sale. Can I get back what I invested in the house plus half of all moneys above that?

Yes, you should be entitled to that under a plan of equitable distribution(decided by the court) or even one that's agreed to by the parties.
