My fiancé and I have lived together for 4 1/2 years. The house we live in is in his name only. He built it himself and he had started building it 2 months before we met. We are getting married in 2 months and he is worried that if we ever get divorced I would get half of the house even if my name never goes on the deed. I told him that he is wrong. Who is correct. We live in New York.

Go to an attorney and sign a prenuptial agreement.

In divorce court almost anything can happen and one side asking for things they are not suppose to have is normal. ** people are on the hate side of life at divorce time. But as Scott said, if you sign a prenuptial before you get marrige he has more protection.
