More details to this question:
I will get married, I dont want a prenup, is there another paper outlining that he keeps his house which he owns, valued at $200,000 if we divorce? we will get married by civil in NYC. how would this affect me or him? etc.. what is the name of this document...I do not want this paper to take effect on all his assets just his house which is a big piece of security and an issue for him.

Property that is owned prior to the marriage by either party is generally considered separate property and not divisible in the event of a divorce - with some exceptions. Absent a prenup there is no way to avoid the exceptions.
