More details to this question:
Currently separate property to her in a divorce as part of fair and equitable settlement? My assets coming in exceed hers by about 70%, including the home equity. And, she will now be contributing to the mortgage payments. I realize the appreciation on the home during marriage is community.

Do a prenuptial agreement that clearly outlines what assets belong to whom, who will pay what during the marriage and how you intend to treat funds earned during the marriage e.g. retirement. That's the easiest cleanest way to know what's what and to keep things the way you want if you split up.
