This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.

I am not really sure what you mean here. The only marital property is the appliances I listed. Because I own the house outright this could mean I may have to give her other items that she would call marital property? Even all the furniture was purchased by me or gifts from my family. When she moved in with me all she had was a duffel bag of her clothes that's it. And are you also saying because I own the house this may mean I may have to pay her support? Even though she makes more money than I do? Thanks for your help.
