Possibly, title is only one indicator of the nature of an asset to be disposed of upon dissolution. You should consult a family law attorney to review all of the facts and advise you.

It will probably be considered a gift to you - your separate property. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

You can now argue that your husband made a gift to the community as evidenced by the change of title.

Generally yes even pre-marital property becomes marital property if it is co-mingled with martial property.
