Legal Question


Hello:

I have been married for approx 6 months, and am looking to purchase a house. I am going to be giving a down payment from savings that I had prior to the marriage. I will also be paying the mortgage, taxes and all other expenses. If I put my spouse on the mortgage or the deed, can that ever cause a problem in the event of a divorce situation?

If so what is the best way to structure this purchase, to protect at least my initial investment, such as the original down payment, and being able to sell the house if things do not work out in the marriage.
