Question:

The house that we live in is just in my husband's name.  The house was bought after we were married but he put it in his name only.  If we divorce does he get the house? -- Carole

Answer:

Carole:  No.  In equitable distribution states, property acquired during the marriage is marital property no matter whose name is on the title.
