Not clear on what the question is. If you owned the home before marriage, and you kept the home solely in your name during the marriage (never putting your husband on title) your separate property interest in the home needs to be recognized and set over to you in the divorce. However, if you put your husband on title, then under Nevada law absent additional documents, you will be deemed to have gifted him a full one-half interest in the home. Or if community property income was used to pay the mortgage during the course of the marriage, as well as to pay insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc., then the community likely has an interest in the home and your husband is entitled to half of the community interest. Whether or not your husband got some money from your original agent for facilitating a sale before you were married appears entirely irrelevant to the application of Nevada law in a divorce situation. You really need to at least consult with an attorney to know what you can expect from the legal system as well as this process.
