So long as you have not added to the stock with earnings acquired during marriage, the stock remains your separate property.

The investment is most likely your separate property. You should consult a family law attorney to review all of the facts and advise you.

No. This would be separate property unless you commingled any marital assets by using earnings to increase the value.
