No you do not automatically get one-half. This will be an accounting procedure to determine the 2-interests in the property. Your husband would get the equity before marriage and you would get a portion of increased equity. This can be a very complex accounting depending on many factors, far to lengthy for a short answer like here. When you are dealing with fragile economic issues in court, competent legal representation should always be sought, as the subject matter of the litigation is so very important. One mistake here could cause the biggest adverse consequence of your life!
