Can he take a share of my property?
I owned my house for many years before I met my partner. Legally everything is in my name solely, infact there is no connection to him whatsoever. We are to be married soon, and while I don't plan on getting a divorce i was wondering if it was possible for him to claim a part of this property if we did divorce? (We also have another property that we bought together 50/50 in both names).
Answers:
This will turn on whether you are in a community property state. In a community property state, that which starts out as separate property stays that way unless you co-mingle it. In other states, upon divorce the court divides up all the property and nothing is excluded.
What state?
Yep, better get a prenup
If you get married without a prenuptial agreement, all property becomes joint and common, which means, yes, he can.
Get the prenup. If he won't sign it, don't trust him and DON'T marry him.
I believe if it was property you owned b4 the marriage that he doesn't have any rights to it unless you get the title changed to both names.
