Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I own my house and have married yet the relationship is not working as I thought it would. Now my spouse is threatening to make me sell my house and share the money with them. Can they make me sell my house even if they are not listed as an owner?

If at this stage of matters, you're the only owner of this house

listed on the deed and owned the property prior to

your marriage, any partition suit filed by your spouse in

the local circuit court seeking an order to sell the house in lieu

of partition would most likely be subject to dismissal (in my opinion).
