    It depends on what state you are in. If you were in say Ohio, if you owned the home prior to the marriage your husband would have no claim to the home as it was purchased prior to the marriage.

    What state are you in?

    First this is a legal question so has been moved to the appropriate forum. In the future please take more care about choosing the appropriate forum.

    Second, laws vary by area. So any question about law needs to include your general area so we can give the correct answer for you.

    Was the home owned outright?

    Or, were you buying it making payments during the marriage?
