Okay, I'm new here and I have a confession.... I just got married 2 months ago. We are both in our 40s and both have houses. We live in my house and he is in the process of leasing his house out. We were having a discussion of "what to do next" about the properties. Do I add him to my deed since this is his home now? He is assisting in the payment of the mortgage. What would that mean if in the awful event we divorced. Does that make him entitled to 1/2 the entire equity in the house or just the 1/2 from the point he was added to the property? If I were not to put him on the Deed would the equity in the house remain "all mine" in the case of a divorce? I'm assuming it's the same for his property.

Thanks for any info..it's going to lead to some interesting conversations in our house I'm sure!
