I recently got married (year ago). However I bought my house when I was single about 5 years ago. If I decide to divorce my husband does he have any rights to my house if I decide to sell? He is not on my deed.

I went through the same thing in Florida. The law states that what you go into a marrige with,( like a house) that you will come out of intact. In other words he may claim half of anything that you have accumulated since the marriage but what you brought into the marriage is yours to keep. Good luck. Tom

If Md. Has no community property law then you keep the house.

You must investigate the specific laws for your state. It varies and should be addressed asap if you are really that concerned.
