More details to this question:
My mother got married to a man who used her for her money and ran her dry. Unfortunately, she realized too late that she needed to file for divorce. While they were married, he convinced her to move and to buy a house some place else. The deed is in her name, and she paid for everything. Even though they're married, does this mean he can still try and get the house or a percentage of it?
1 ANSWER
That depends - did she have the house prior to the marriage? Did she use separate assets to purchase it?
